Answer 1

You can do this via direct registry edition.

Under the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\Profiles

you can see network profiles key (by it's uuid), and can change apropriate network ProfileName value.

Get-ChildItem -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\Profiles\" ➜ $UUID = "{01234ABC-...}" ➜ $VALUE = "Network1" ➜ (Get-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\Profiles\$UUID").ProfileName ➜ Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\Profiles\$UUID" -Name ProfileName -Value $VALUE – Eindhoven

Answer 2

The Name property is read-only, as you are reading these names.

$Profile=Get-NetConnectionProfile -InterfaceIndex 35

You are trying to Get a particular profile index name. Then declaring it as "Network1"

@Yvette is right. I don't think you can change this property. This property is from and decided by system.

If it is a domain network profile, it will be your domain name, eg. example.com and domain name is decided by domain controller.

If it is a WiFi network profile, it will be the SSID name of WiFi equipment and SSID is decided by your WiFi equipment.

This attribute could be manually changed using secpol. So, I don't think this couldn't be changed. I only have to know HOW. :-)
