Change to Private, Windows 10 Hyper-V vEthernet Internal Network set to Public

Question

Sunday, October 4, 2015 4:46 PM | 1 vote

In Hyper-V, on Windows 10, I've created a virtual internal network.  Windows sets it to Public.  How can it be changed to Private?

The system is joined to a domain on the external interface.  Many of the solutions I've found are based on using a Home Group, but that isn't applicable to a domain workstation.

I'm able to ping the VM's IP address on the virtual internal network.  The virtual internal network properties do not include a DNS setting or Gateway.  The VM contains a Server 2012 R2 Domain Controller in preparation for a testing lab.  It's domain is not related to the External domain.

How can the virtual internal network connection be set to Private?

In another thread, I posted the solution to a different problem that also directly fixed this problem:

With PowerShell, you can force the network connection to Private.

Set-NetConnectionProfile -interfacealias "vEthernet (Internal LAN)" -NetworkCategory Private

Microsoft needs to rethink their decision to take away our ability to install Integration Services manually.
