Microsoft NetworkTransition reference: Sets an ISATAP configuration on a computer or on a Group Policy Object (GPO). The syntax and selected example below are adapted from the pinned Windows Server 2025 reference. Module availability, target configuration and delegated permissions determine whether it can run in your environment. Documentation and parameter text: Microsoft, CC BY 4.0; formatting adapted by Cmdlet World. No execution testing is claimed.
Use an account with the target resource permissions documented for Set-NetIsatapConfiguration. Modifying administrative cmdlets may require elevation or delegated administration. This catalog does not assert that ordinary users can execute the command.

Parameters
-AsJob
Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.
-CimSession
Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.
-Confirm
Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.
-GPOSession
Specifies the Group Policy session to which to store the configuration information. You can use this with the NetGPO cmdlets to aggregate multiple operations performed on a GPO. You cannot use this parameter with the *PolicyStore* parameter.
-IPInterface
Specifies the IP interface on which to set the ISATAP configuration.
-InputObject (required)
Specifies the input object that is used in a pipeline command.
-PassThru
Returns an object representing the item with which you are working. By default, this cmdlet does not generate any output.
-PolicyStore
Specifies the policy store that contains the configuration to set. The acceptable values for this parameter are: - PersistentStore - ActiveStore - GPO To set the configuration of a GPO, specify the GPO name using the following format: Domain\GPOName You cannot use this parameter with the *GPOSession* parameter.
-ResolutionIntervalSeconds
Specifies how often in seconds that Windows Server® 2012 attempts to contact the specified ISATAP server.
-ResolutionState
Specifies the state of router name resolution. The state of the router name resolution specifies how often Windows Server 2012 resolves the ISATAP router name.
-Router
Specifies the policy setting that allows you to specify a router name or IPv4 address for an ISATAP router. If you enable this policy setting, then you can specify a router name or IPv4 address for an ISATAP router. If you enter an IPv4 address of the ISATAP router, then DNS services are not required.
-State
Specifies the policy setting that allows you to configure ISATAP, an address-to-router and host-to-host, host-to-router and router-to-host automatic tunneling technology that provides unicast IPv6 connectivity between IPv6 hosts across an IPv4 intranet. You can specify one of the following three policy setting states: - Default. If the ISATAP router name is resolved successfully, then ISATAP is configured with a link-local address and an address for each prefix received from the ISATAP router through stateless address auto-configuration. ---- If the ISATAP router name is not resolved successfully, then ISATAP connectivity is not available on the host using the corresponding IPv4 address. -- Enabled. ---- If the ISATAP name is resolved successfully, then ISATAP is configured with a link-local address and an address for each prefix received from the ISATAP router through stateless address auto-configuration. ---- If the ISATAP name is not resolved successfully, then the ISATAP interface is configured with a link-local address. -- Disabled. No ISATAP interfaces are present on the host.
-ThrottleLimit
Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet. If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is entered, then Windows PowerShell® calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the computer. The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.
-WhatIf
Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.
Prerequisites
Windows with the NetworkTransition module and the Windows feature or management tools that provide it. Confirm target connectivity and version compatibility using the linked Microsoft reference.
Security considerations
This cmdlet changes system state. Review every target and parameter in the official reference, test outside production, and prepare an appropriate backup or rollback. Do not execute the example automatically.
