I have a hyper v vm which I used to access remotely. By mistake I changed the gateway and now I am unable to access. I forgot in which server this VM is created in. Is there any way I can change the gateway or get to know the hostname of the server where this VM is created in?

    Use the IP address assigned to the VM and track it on the network level - to the Hyper-V virtual switch

    If you're new to PowerShell and need to change the gateway address of a Hyper-V VM, follow these steps. It'll be easier for you to understand what are you doing:

    1. Open PowerShell as Administrator from Hyper-V machine:
    • Click on the Start menu, type PowerShell, right-click on Windows PowerShell, and select Run as administrator.
    1. Find the VM Network Adapter:
    • First, you need to know the network adapter's name for your VM. Use the following command to list the network adapters of your VM:

    Get-VMNetworkAdapter -VMName "YourVMName"

    • Replace "YourVMName" with the name of your virtual machine. This command will show you the network adapters connected to the VM.
    1. Get the Current Network Configuration:
    • To see the current IP configuration of the network adapter, use:

    Get-VMNetworkAdapter -VMName "YourVMName" | Get-VMNetworkAdapterConfiguration

    • This will display the current IP settings, including the gateway.
    1. Change the Gateway Address:
    • Use the following command to change the gateway address:

    Set-VMNetworkAdapterGateway -VMName "YourVMName" -Gateway "NewGatewayAddress"

    • Replace "NewGatewayAddress" with the new gateway address you want to set.
    1. Verify the Changes:
    • After changing the gateway, you can verify the new settings by running the Get-VMNetworkAdapterConfiguration command again:

    Get-VMNetworkAdapter -VMName "YourVMName" | Get-VMNetworkAdapterConfiguration
