Windows 8.1 tips: Managing Wireless Network Profiles
And finally, if you wanted to change the preferred order for your machine to connect to
specific wireless network, you could move a network up in the priority list by using the
command: set profileorder name=goose interface=”Wi-Fi” priority=1

http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/20152-wireless-networks-priority-change-windows-8-
a.html
How to Change Connection Priority of Wireless Networks in Windows 8 and 8.1
Windows usually connects to networks in this priority order:
? Ethernet
? WiFi (wireless)
? Mobile broadband
When you connect to a new WiFi network, it’s added to the list, and Windows will connect to that network while it’s in range. If you connect to another WiFi network while in range of the first network, Windows will prefer the second network over the first one.
Mobile broadband networks are treated differently. If you manually connect to a mobile
broadband network when there is a WiFi network in range, the mobile broadband network is preferred just for that session. The next time you’re in range of both networks, the WiFi network is preferred. This is because mobile broadband networks typically are metered.
If you want to force your PC to prefer a mobile broadband network over WiFi, tap or click the WiFi network in the list of networks, and then click Disconnect. Windows won’t automatically connect to that WiFi network.

QUESTION 3
A company has client computers that run Windows 8.1. The corporate network is configured for IPv4 and IPv6.
You need to disable Media Sensing for IPv6 on the client computers without affecting IPv4 communications.
What should you do on each client computer?
A. Run the Disable-NetAdapterBinding Windows PowerShell cmdlet.
B. Run the Disable-NetAdapter Windows PowerShell cmdlet.
C. Run the Set-NetlPv6Protocol Windows PowerShell cmdlet.
D. Run the Set-NetlPv4Protocol Windows PowerShell cmdlet.
Answer: C
Explanation: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh826144.aspx Set-NetIPv6Protocol
Set-NetIPv6Protocol -DhcpMediaSense<DhcpMediaSense>
Specifies a value for Media Sense. The cmdlet modifies the value for this setting.
Media Sense provides a mechanism for the network adapter to notify the protocol stack of media connect and disconnect events. These events trigger the DHCP client to take an action, such as attempting to renew a DHCP lease or removing routes that are related to a disconnected network. When Media Sense is enabled, the network parameters on the laptop of a roaming user are automatically and transparently updated without requiring a restart when the user moves from one location to another. The acceptable values for this parameter are:
— Enabled
— Disabled
The default value is Enabled.
Further information: Disable-NetAdapterBinding
The Disable-NetAdapterBinding cmdlet disables a binding to a network adapter. Running this cmdlet causes loss of network connectivity depending on the binding that is disabled. Note: Disabling some adapter bindings can automatically enable other network adapter bindings.
Disable-NetAdapter
The Disable-NetAdapter cmdlet disables a network adapter. A network adapter must be enabled to connect to a network. This cmdlet causes loss of network connectivity of the specified network adapter. Note: Do not disable the network adapter being used to manage a remote computer. By default the user will be prompted to confirm the network adapter should be disabled
Set-NetlPv4Protocol
Is not a valid cmdlet.

A custom application requires a Windows Firewall exception on each client computer.
You need to configure the exception on the client computers without affecting existing firewall settings.
Which Windows PowerShell cmdlet should you run on each client computer?
A. New-NetFirewallRule
B. Set-NetFirewallSetting
C. Set-NetFirewallRule
D. Set-NetFirewallProfile
E. New-NetIPSecMainModeRule
Answer: A
Explanation:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj554908.aspx
New-NetFirewallRule
The New-NetFirewallRule cmdlet creates an inbound or outbound firewall rule and adds the rule to the target computer.
Further information: Set-NetFirewallSetting
The Set-NetFirewallSetting cmdlet configures properties that apply to the firewall and IPsec settings, regardless of which network profile is currently in use. This cmdlet allows the administrator to specify global firewall behavior.
Set-NetFirewallRule
The Set-NetFirewallRule cmdlet modifies existing firewall rule properties.
Set-NetFirewallProfile
The Set-NetFirewallProfile cmdlet configures options for the profiles, including domain, public, and private, that are global, or associated with the input rules.
New-NetIPSecMainModeRule
The New-NetIPsecMainModeRule cmdlet creates an IPsec main mode rule.
A main mode rule contains a set of local and remote end points to determine the peers to which it applies. When an application on the local computer attempts to communicate with one of these specified remote hosts, the computer attempts to establish a security association (SA) with the remote server.
