no luck with this,but i was thinking maybe it can be done like this: in winnt.sif file [Components] Indexsrv_system = Off IEAccess=off Client for Microsoft Networks=off ? File and Printer for Microsoft Networks=off ? and only tcp/ip will be kept like i want what you think is this possible? no not that way,solution is: [Networking] InstallDefaultComponents = "Yes" [NetClients] [NetServices] and i have only tcp/ip kept like i want
