Randy-
At first glance that ADM looks fine to me except that you only need the
ValueOn and Valueoff tags. You don't need the 3rd Value Numeric 1 tag.

 

In terms of detecting Gigabit adapters, look at using WMI Filters and check
out the Win32_NetworkConfiguration class. I'm rushing out or I would look
deeper for you but I seem to recall there is a speed property on that class
that would allow you to find out if the machine has any GB adapters.

Subject: [gptalk] Newbie to ADM files seeks help

 

I'm trying to cobble together an ADM file to turn of Media Sense on
computers that have gigabit network adapters; this is as far as I've got:

 

 

CLASS MACHINE

 

CATEGORY "Network Connections"

 

 POLICY "Turn Off Media Sense"

 

  KEYNAME "System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters"
  VALUENAME "DisableDHCPMediaSense"
  VALUEON NUMERIC 1
  VALUEOFF NUMERIC 0
  VALUE NUMERIC 1
 END POLICY
 
END CATEGORY

 

I'm sure there's plenty wrong with it, but while I'm asking for debugging
help, is there a way to detect gigabit adapters or do I need to collect all
boxes with gigabit adapters into an OU?

 

TIA,

Randy Benson
