Is it possible to change the WiFi hosted network settings using CMD/BAT/VBS?

Question

I was trying to change two hosted network settings of my WiFi hotspot using CMD/BAT/VBS, but I was unable to do it.

The Settings I want to change:

1. Authentication (eg: WPA,WPA2PSK)
2. Cipher (eg: CCMP/AES)

The following code gives the information about the hosted network settings:

netsh wlan show hostednetwork

The following code sets the profile parameters:

netsh wlan set profileparameter

The problem is: what is the profile name which runs the WiFi Hotspot. The profileparameter asks for the profile name, and I dont know it. I have tried exporting the profile but it does not contain the profile name. Exported profile data is located in windows/system32 directory.

Is there a way to solve this issue?

Try this code to get the profil name and its password with admin rights :
