Description

The Set-NetQosPolicy cmdlet modifies an existing Quality of Service (QoS) policy. Match conditions or actions or general parameters of the policy such as NetworkProfile or Precedence can be changed.

Users cannot change the location of where an existing QoS policy is stored. Changing the PolicyStore parameter value will fail.

If a policy was created to be in ActiveStore and a user attempts to make it persistent, such as storing the policy on the local computer, the user has to create a new policy and place it on the local computer (localhost).

If the PolicyStore parameter is not specified, then the cmdlet will search for and update the policy on the local computer (localhost).

Examples

Example 1: Update a QoS policy to apply to outgoing traffic from a domain-joined adapter

PS C:\> Set-NetQosPolicy -Name "SMB Policy" -NetworkProfile Domain

This command updates the QoS policy named SMB Policy so that it only applies to traffic that is outgoing from a domain-joined network adapter.

Example 2: Update the precedence of a policy

PS C:\> Get-NetQosPolicy -Name "wildcard" | Set-NetQosPolicy -Precedence 250

This command gets the QoS policy named wildcard and updates the precedence of the policy to 250.

Example 3: Add additional matching conditions

PS C:\> Set-NetQosPolicy -Name "Backup" -IPDstPortStart 3501 -IPDstPortEnd 3510

This command updates the QoS policy named Backup with additional matching conditions.

Example 4: Update a QoS policy

PS C:\> Set-NetQosPolicy -Name "IIS" -Recursive $True -ThrottleRateActionBitsPerSecond 3000KB

This command updates the QoS policy named IIS, so that it applies to the return traffic for both the specified URI and subdirectories and files under the URI. This cmdlet also sets a new throttling rate at 3,000,000 bytes per second. An alias for the ThrottleRateActionBitsPerSecond parameter is ThrottleRateAction. Another alias is MaxBw.

Usually this is a well-known port that a client uses to communicate with a server. With this parameter specified, the same QoS policy can be configured on both the clients and the servers and apply to the traffic in both directions. For example, specifying this parameter value to 80 matches HTTP traffic sent by both HTTP clients and HTTP servers.

Inputs

CimInstance

The Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance object is a wrapper class that displays Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) objects. The path after the pound sign (#) provides the namespace and class name for the underlying WMI object. The MSFT_NetQosPolicySettingData object contains a QoS policy.
