added, or moved a NIC to a different slot, this may result in the script applying the saved
settings to a different device.
NOTES:
l
If the restore system is not identical to the saved system, the script may not restore
any settings when the /bdf option is specified.
l
Virtual Function devices do not support the /bdf option.
Examples
Save Example
To save the adapter settings to a file on a removable media device, do the following.
1. Open a Windows Command Prompt.
2. Navigate to the directory where SavResDX.vbs is located (generally c:\Program Files\Intel\DMIX).
3. Type the following:
cscript SavResDX.vbs save e:\settings.txt
Restore Example
To restore the adapter settings from a file on removable media, do the following:
1. Open a Windows Command Prompt.
2. Navigate to the directory where SavResDX.vbs is located (generally c:\Program Files\Intel\DMIX).

Network Adapters WMI Provider
Overview
The Intel® Network Adapters Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) Provider enables WMI-based
management applications such as Intel® PROSet for Windows Device Manager to monitor and configure the
status of PCI network adapters. Intel Network Adapters WMI Provider uses WMI, a user-level
instrumentation technology for the Microsoft Windows* platform.
WMI is a middleware layer that allows measurement and instrumentation information to be collected from
kernel mode data providers. This information can then be provided to local or remote user-mode data
consumers through the use of a common set of interfaces (Web-based Enterprise Management called
WBEM). WMI is a data-independent pipeline between the data consumer and the data provider that makes no
assumptions about the format of the data.
A guide is available on this distribution, which contains detailed information on the Intel Network Adapters
WMI Provider, also referred to as Network Configuration Services (NCS2) WMI Providers. This guide is
located in \APPS\WMI\DOCS. The technical reference paper describes the external view of NCS2 WMI
providers so WMI-based management applications could use it to manage the network configuration for the
Intel adapters.
