    Is it possible to create "network conneciton" on windows system?

    Hello,

    one of my PC is window system, and in "control panel -Network
    Connections", I can see some network connections such as PPPOE or VPN
    which I created by click "create a new connection".

    My question is, is it possible to create a new connection by using
    Python script? which means I do not want to use Window UI (via
    "control panel"), if it is possible, I can save so many time to
    create various network connection when I want to do testing in the
    lab.

    Thanks very much.

      It is very likely that it is possible to do this. Most control panel
      applications store the results of their GUI setup in the registry. If you can
      determine what registry keys have been added/changed. Here is an open source
      registry compare utility that might help:

      https://sourceforge.net/projects/regshot

      You can then use the _winreg module to make such changes on a new machine.

      HTH,
      Larry

          Thanks Larry,

          The thing is, if I change the registry, I have to reboot the PC for
          applying new configuration of system. Any idea to apply the changing
          without reboot after modify registry?

          Thanks,

              Not necessarily. You can change the registry on-the-fly and any programs that
              aren't running at the time will pick up the changes when they are run. If you
              can "Create a new connection" and have it work without rebooting, you can do it
              via the registry/Python in exactly the same way.
