We need to rename the network adapter for a number of devices, however the adapter name can be different on different devices. The identifier is the description of the adapter so wondering if anyone has renamed an adapter name based on the description of the apapter.

A simple one-liner in Powershell.
Get-NetAdapter | Where-Object { $_.InterfaceDescription -eq 'whatever' } |
Rename-NetAdapter -NewName "MyAdapter"
