Script to enable Client for Microsoft Networks
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

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...

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
Matt :) - Hi,
A while back, it was recommended that the MS client be removed from workstations if it was not being used, in order to enhance performance. So that's the way we configured our workstations for a time.
On more recent "imaged" workstations, we stopped bothering to remove it. But I've found that we've still got a bunch of older winxp boxes out there that don't have the MS client installed.
To join a PC to Microsoft Active Directory, it needs the MS client installed on the workstations.
So, I've got to insure that "client for ms networking" is installed and enabled on
all our workstations. Is it possible to "push" it out with a policy? Or a sneaky windows command-line? Or any other method?I found that the MS snetcfg.exe can install the client (if it is not installed on a PC), but if the client is installed and not enabled, snetcfg.exe can’t do anything!!!!
I am looking for a way to enable the Client for Microsoft Networks. Can anyone help?
Thank you
