NC_RenameMyRasConnection

HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Network Connections

Data type	Range	Default value
REG_DWORD	0 \| 1	1

Description

Determines whether users can rename their private dial-up connections. Private connections are available only to one user.

This entry stores the setting of the Enable renaming of RAS connections belonging to the current user Group Policy. Group Policy adds this entry to the registry with a value of 1 when you enable the policy. If you disable the policy, Group Policy sets the value to 0. If you set the policy to Not configured, Group Policy deletes the entry from the registry and the system behaves as though the value is 1.

Value	Meaning
0	The policy is disabled. The Rename option is disabled, even on the user's private connections.
1 (or not in registry)	The policy is enabled or not configured. The Rename option is enabled on users' private dial-up connections. Users can rename their private connection by right-clicking an icon representing the connection or by using the File menu.

Change method

To change the value of this entry, use Group Policy. This entry corresponds to the Enable renaming of RAS connections belonging to the current user policy (User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Network\Network and Dial-up Connections).

Note Image Note

When the value of NC_RenameConnection is 1, users can rename any connections, and NC_RenameMyRASConnection is ignored. However, if the value of NC_RenameConnection is 0, and the value of NC_RenameMyRASConnection is 1, users can only rename their private connections.

Tip Image Tip

To create a private connection, on the Connection Availability page in the Network Connections wizard, click the Only for myself option.
