QoS Packet Scheduler

[toy4x4]

Any way to remove this entirely?

Never use it, never will. I always "uninstall" it at the TCPIP Config part of the setup.

Any ideas to do this???

Thnx,

Add this to your winnt.sif

[NetOptionalComponents]
    Beacon=0

i have more in my network section, but I believe that was the only thing you need to disable it.

What for? If you dont't have programs that can use QoS, it is not working (=consuming any resources) anyway.

And don't forget this one:

[Components]
NetOc = On

this will make winnt.sif process the NetOptionalComponents section.

Because that's what I prefer. If it's not used/needed, then it needs to not be there at all.

if it's not broken, don't fix it

Always uninstall QoS Packet Scheduler!

This is another stupid idea developed by Microsoft for a problem nobody has. What it does is limit your bandwidth of your internet connection.

Say you're downloading a 100MB file from another computer on your LAN. With QoS installed it will take 20% longer to download that file.

I suggest you read up on this little "feature":

It is broken, fix it.

I choose to remove it from my 6000+ desktops from the sheer standpoint I dont want Microsoft to install somethign I didnt add to my default desktop. It was one of the first things I took out of the default Windows XP build.

Testify!

Me too, and all other Systems Administrators I know remove this crap. It's the first to go. It's entirely un-needed on any modern network that uses switches.

And they install it by default... amazing.

According to Microsoft, a lot of these claims are unfounded. Most programs aren't designed for QOS.

I don't usually leave it on, but I am looking into it to see if it is a hinderence or not. I wouldn't mind being able to limit some connections, while not others.
