When it comes to that, I'm lucky if I can do this:
nlb stop
nlb lift lid
nlb drain
nlb close lid
nlb start
nlb no more coffee

I'm not sure that sequence of commands would wait for nlb drain to "finish"
before nlb stop was executed; draining would start and then nlb would be
stopped. You might be able to get away with the following sequence, though.
nlb drainstop
nlb disable
As I understand it (without testing), drainstop can only be terminated by
explicitly executing nlb stop or nlb start.
The above sequence should allow the drainstop command to finish and then
disable listening, assuming NLB does start again immediately after drainstop
completes; nlb disable won't work if NLB is actually stopped.
Having said that, though, there is still the question as to whether or not
ISA continues to manage NLB after the commands are administratively executed
from the command line - NLB stops but since ISA didn't issue the stop, ISA
restarts NLB.

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
