Hmm, interesting... we had originally looked at netsh, but felt that the tool would be unstable in that it may change its syntax one day, and that it was hard to make sure that it worked. Therefore, we decided to go overboard and use the Windows API with Python to accomplish the goal.

I think this probably summarizes what we did:

Nevertheless, I thought it was a challenging and fun experience - it definitely exposed me to new worlds, especially WMI.

Have you tried it yet? We'd really like to know if it works for other people as well!
