Disable all unused / disconnected NICs in Windows Server 2003 ??
Hi,
We have implemented a fully automated deployment method for our Windows Server 2003 based Citrix servers (using Altiris). The last step I can't quite figure out is how to automatically disable any unused NIC's. Most of our servers have two or more NICs and only one is connected. Unfortunately they don't always use NIC1 so I can't simply use NETSH to disable NICs 2, 3 and so on. Does anyone know of a script that walks through all NICs and disables the unused / disconnected ones?? On Nov 16, 6:11 pm, Jeffrey Kusters <Jeffrey

GL Thanks for the links. The script in the first link works like a charm!
