This builds on adding an IPv4 address – http://msmvps.com/blogs/richardsiddaway/archive/2011/10/24/hosts-file-add-a-record.aspx function add-IPv6hostfilecontent { [CmdletBinding()] param ( [parameter(Mandatory=$true)] [string]$IPAddress, [parameter(Mandatory=$true)] [string]$computer ) $file = Join-Path -Path $($env:windir) -ChildPath "system32\drivers\etc\hosts" if (-not (Test-Path -Path $file)){ Throw "Hosts file not found" } $data = Get-Content -Path $file $data += "$IPAddress $computer" Set-Content -Value $data -Path $file -Force -Encoding ASCII […]
