Script to enable Client for Microsoft Networks

Wed, 01 Jul 2009 21:24:55 Z

Hello
I am looking for tools or script that can enable Client for Microsoft Networks in Network Control panel on Windows XP SP2 workstation. Client is installed on all workstations.

Any suggestions?

Thank you everybody for answers.

I was looking for something like snetcfg.exe utility that was available in 2000 and XP Gold DDK, but I could not find it anywhere.

I need some tools to run in script that can bind Client for Microsoft Networks to the current network adapter.

Hi,

You could use Regmon While enabling it your self.

You would probably see a Registry Key being Changed that is just what you need.

I would suggest close every unnecessary application before running Regmon.

Good Luck

Hi Marina

Apparently this setting is not stored in the registry...see the following Microsoft KB:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/833442

although no .pbk files existed when I searched in:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Connections\Pbk ...???

Still searching for the answer...

Cheers,

Matt :)

Hi Marina

Perhaps try installing it using C:\Windows\Inf\netmscli.inf

Try that manually, if it works and you can click on it then it can be scripted.

Cheers
