Changing Intel PROSet Settings Under Windows Server Core

You can use the command line utility prosetcl.exe to change most Intel PROSet settings under Windows Server Core. Please refer to the help file prosetcl.txt located in the \Program Files\Intel\DMIX\CL directory. For iSCSI Crash Dump cofiguration, use the CrashDmp.exe utility and refer to the CrashDmp.txt help file.

Changing Intel PROSet Settings via Microsoft* Windows PowerShell*

You can use Windows PowerShell* to change most Intel PROSet settings. Install the IntelNetCmdlets module by checking the Windows PowerShell Module checkbox during the driver and PROSet installation process. This should import the cmdlets in the module automatically. If you cannot access the modules, use the Import-Module cmdlet. You may need to restart Windows PowerShell to access the cmdlets.

To use the Import-Module cmdlet, you must specify the path and the name of the module. For example:

PS c:\> Import-Module -Name "C:\Program Files\Intel\IntelNetCmdlets\IntelNetCmdlets"

See the Microsoft TechNet for more information about the Import-Module cmdlet.

note NOTE: If an adapter is bound to an ANS team, do not change settings using the Set–NetAdapterAdvanceProperty cmdlet from Windows PowerShell*, or any other cmdlet not provided by Intel. Doing so may cause the team to stop using that adapter to pass traffic. You may see this as reduced performance or the adapter being disabled in the ANS team. You can resolve this issue by changing the setting back to its previous state, or by removing the adapter from the ANS team and then adding it back.
