Any idea on how to do this, either for all NICS found in a system or the "primary" NIC? Also found this vb-script, but am not sure how to interpret it: --- ' From the book "Windows Server 2003 Networking Recipes" ' This code enables NetBIOS over TCP/IP ' ------ SCRIPT CONFIGURATION ------ strComputer = "." Const DEFAULT = 0 Const ENABLED = 1 Const DISABLED = 2 ' ------ END CONFIGURATION --------- Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _ & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2") Set nics = objWMIService.ExecQuery _ ("SELECT * FROM Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration WHERE IPEnabled = True") For Each nic in nics intNetBT = nic.SetTCPIPNetBIOS(ENABLED) If intNetBT = 0 Then WScript.Echo "Success! NetBIOS over TCP/IP enabled!" ElseIf intNetBT = 1 Then WScript.Echo "Success! NetBIOS over TCP/IP enabled, please reboot." Else WScript.Echo "Error! Unable to enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP." End If Next --- All that happens when I run the script is that it pops up a few squares with "netbios enabled!" I don't want it to enable it, quite the contrary. I gues that the several popups is because I have several NIC:s in the test system. Otherwise it seems to work, ie it enables netbios over tcp/ip. Is it enough if I change "intNetBT = nic.SetTCPIPNetBIOS(ENABLED)" to "intNetBT = nic.SetTCPIPNetBIOS(DISABLED)". My knowledge with vb-scripting is weak... Also, if I don't want the popups, what would I remove from the script? The "Wscript.echo..."-thingies? Thx for your help in advance. 8*} > Hi all, > > Isn't there *any* way to programmatically disable Netbios over TCP/IP? We > use static IP:s so setting it on the dhcp-server isn't an option.
