I find problem, the name of Connection (e.g. Local Area Connection) is writen by Cyrillic alphabet and netsh report something like "uknown interface name" (something like, because I do not know Russian language, so I estimate this error from error message i saw ;-) Anybody have some idea?

Hi, Thanks for the post! What’s the error message you got? Which command you input got that error? I recommend you provide a screenshot.

Command line tools are generally not friendly to unicode. Temporary, while you're doing what you need, rename the connection to a normal name. Also you can try to set the global system code page to Russian, but it requires reboot and IMHO isn't worth the trouble. If you deal with this sort of problem often, you can make a script in some Unicode-friendly language (powershell, vbscript...) that will detect Unicode names, save them somewhere, rename to ascii, and later restore. - pa
