IP address cannot be set using SConfig

[Rokory]

Due to a bug in Windows Server 2022, sometimes the IP address cannot be set using SConfig. Use the following commands at the command prompt as a workaround:

1. Find the ifIndex (InterfaceIndex) of the net adapter.

   Get-NetAdapter

   or

   Get-NetIPConfiguration

2. Remove all IP address.

   Get-NetIPAddress | Remove-NetIPAddress

   You might get some error message, which you can safely ignore. Some IP addresses, e.g., APIPA addresses cannot be removed.

3. Set the IP address and default gateway.

   $ipAddress = '10.1.200.168' # Replace with the desired IP address
   $defaultGateway = '10.1.200.1' # Replace with the desired default gateway
   $prefixLength = 24 # Replace as appropriate
   $interfaceIndex = 4 # Replace with the ifIndex from step 1
   New-NetIPAddress `
       -InterfaceIndex $interfaceIndex `
       -IPAddress $ipAddress `
       -DefaultGateway $defaultGateway `
       -AddressFamiliy IPv4 `
       -PrefixLength $prefixLength

4. Set the DNS server.

   Set-DnsClientServerAddress -InterfaceIndex $interfaceIndex -ServerAddresses 10.1.1.8 # Replace as appropriate

This does not seem to be an issue anymore.
