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

                 

                Regards
