I will give it a go and let you know..... Thanks for replying

Okay, there must be someone out here who can achieve this. I need to tunnel SSH across a firewall to enable the connection of windows file shares. This uses a loopback adcapter, which works perfectly fine through Windows 2003 / XP etc... Basically in order for this to happen, you need to create a loopback adapter and then disable "File and Print Sharing" and "NetBIOS", so you can route port 139 through port 22. Again, this is fine for Windows 2003 and Xp as you have a nice GUI to achieve this. WinPE2 is a little different, apart from the vista base..... I can create the loopback adapter fine using the devcon utility, although cannot manage to disable NetBIOS or the equivalent of File and Print Sharing within Vista Please help.

Simply use the builtin tools available... Apply a security policy using an .inf file [unicode] Unicode=yes [Version] signature="$CHICAGO$" Revision=1 [Profile Description] Description=profile description [system Access] MinimumPasswordAge = 10 MaximumPasswordAge = 30 MinimumPasswordLength = 6 RequireLogonToChangePassword = 0 NewAdministratorName = "NewAdminAccountName" NewGuestName = "NewGuestAccountName" Simple to apply from a cmd line secedit /configure /db %windir%\security\database\localdb.sdb /cfg %systemdrive%\install\local\policy\policyname.inf /verbose
