title: how to change a disabled network adapter configuration by powershell
body: <p>I want to changed an networking adapter ip address. For some security reason, we should change it when it is disabled. </p>
  
  <p>I used the following: </p>
  
  <pre><code>Set-NetIPAddress  -InterfaceAlias "Ethernet 3" -PrefixLength 20 -IPAddress 10.91.62.201 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But that failed with following message:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Set-NetIPAddress : No matching MSFT_NetIPAddress objects found by CIM query for instances of the ROOT/StandardCimv2/MSFT_NetIPAddress class on the  CIM 
  server: SELECT * FROM MSFT_NetIPAddress  WHERE ((IPAddress LIKE '10.91.62.201')) AND ((InterfaceAlias LIKE 'Ethernet 3'))
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there anyone who know how to changed a disabed networking adapter configuration. Thanks.</p>
