Hello Everyone,
I have a Batch script which is working fine, but I want to achieve the same in the python3.7 script.
Please help.
netsh interface set interface name="OLDNIC" newname="NEWNIC"
I had a Pything script which was doing Disable the Wifi but how i can change the name? by using Pything Script.
subprocess.call(['netsh', 'interface', 'set', 'interface', 'Wi-Fi', 'disabled'])
Please advise.
Thank you
ANS
Try this:
import subprocess
cmd = 'netsh interface set interface name="OLDNIC" newname="NEWNIC"'
subprocess.call([cmd], shell=True)

Please take a look.

import subprocess
cmd = 'netsh interface set interface name="OLDNIC" newname="NEWNIC"'
subprocess.call([cmd], shell=True)
import os
import subprocess
cmd = 'netsh interface set interface name="TPALAN" newname="TPALAN2"'
subprocess.call([cmd], shell=True)
os.system("netsh interface show interface")Output:
'"netsh interface set interface name=\"TPALAN\" newname=\"TPALAN2\""' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

You need to run cmd in elevated mode (i.e. Run As Administrator)
Change the name if the adapter name is not Wi-Fi, e.g. Wireless Network Connection, etc.
Use this as example how to rename interface
>>> subprocess.call(['netsh', 'interface', 'set', 'interface', 'name="TPALAN"', 'newname="TPALAN2"'])

Perfect Thanks Buran.
One more questions: I am trying to get input function to get Interface name from User, but it doesn't accept input value. can you please help?
import subprocess
import os
changeName=input("Enter the Interface name:")
print(changeName)
subprocess.call(['netsh', 'interface', 'set', 'interface', 'name="Wi-Fi"', 'newname=changeName'])
os.system("netsh interface show interface")Output:
Enter the Interface name:Wi-Fi123
Wi-Fi123

It doesn't accept the Value from Input function.
Please help.
Thank you
That's simple string formatting. Ignore the fact that it's a network interface, or a different command. How would you just print it out to the screen?
if using 3.6+ use f-strings
subprocess.run(['netsh', 'interface', 'set', 'interface', 'name="Wi-Fi"', f'newname="{changeName}"'])if using lower version
subprocess.run(['netsh', 'interface', 'set', 'interface', 'name="Wi-Fi"', 'newname="{}"'.format(changeName)])for greater readability you may want to make this before the call
import subprocess
change_name = input("Enter the Interface name:")
new_name = 'newname="{}"'.format(change_name) # new_name = f'newname="{change_name}"'
subprocess.run(['netsh', 'interface', 'set', 'interface', 'name="Wi-Fi"', new_name])
subprocess.run(['netsh', 'interface', 'show', 'interface'])don't use
os.system - it's depreciated, use
subprocess.call or even better
subprocess.run
