nlb drain doesn't work?  If you want a drain and stop just do 

nlb drain
nlb stop

But don't you want it started again?  I'll drop out of this one since Jerry is 
in on it...

  I executed:

   

  "wlbs drainstop"

   

  and

   

  "nlb drainstop"

   

  Both did the same thing I mentioned before.

  What I'm trying to accomplish is the same you do from the ISA console going 
to monitoring/services right click over the NLB service and select "drain and 
stop", but from the command prompt or using a script.

  What is the command you are attempting to execute?

  Yes I tried both options, but look like the NLB drain, stopped and started 
automatically.

  ISA is showing that on the alerts tab, but I didn't find a way to emulate the 
drain you can do from the ISA console.

  NLB has both an 'nlb drainstop' and 'nlb drain' command.  Full syntax is 
listed in online Help.

  Doesn't nlb.exe have a drain parameter?  NLB isn't my area of expertise, but 
I thought you could "drain" from the command line somehow... I bet Jim knows ;)

    But the thing is, I'm looking to specifically do a drain of the service, no 
a stop. Is there any parameter on the net stop to do a drain, or is there any 
other command to run a drain?

    You'd have to do something like "net stop" in a script that uses "RunAs" to 
escalate privileges.  You could obfuscate the password in an encoded vscript, 
but they could get to it if they wanted to badly enough. 

     

    But, you could tell them not to do that and then audit for logon events for 
the account you created to do that-- at least you could know if it was being 
abused.

      Dears, I need to give some IT guys the ability to drain the NLB service, 
but I assume the only person that can do that in ISA2004 or ISA2006 is an 
administrator of the array or enterprise.

      Since I don't want to make those guys administrators of any array, I'm 
wondering if there is a way to drain the service using a script. Does anybody 
know a way to do it?

       

      Thanks
