how can i enabled "netbios over tcp/ip" via gpo

[ceez]

zup fellow msfn-ers!?!?

I was wondering if there's a way that we can force enabling this settings. For some reasons the workstations in our domain sometime get 'missconfigured' eventhough this is a setting we enable when deploying workstations....yet it has a mind of its own, we need to force it on everytime the user logs in.

thanks for your help

are you talking about the system service NetBios TCP/IP Helper or are you talking in the adapter properties?

For the first. Using your domain group policy, go to Computer configuration->Windows Settings->Security Settings-> System Services

Select "TCP/IP NetBios Nelper and define it as automatic.

Or the later

Cofigure your dhcp scope under the advanced options to enable TCP over NetBios.

@chilifrei64, thanks. I was talking about the adapter properties. I will check out the dchp scope properties.

and...

I just want to make sure i am looking in the right place, go to dhcp, scope, scope options, right click "configure options", [advanced] tab, check "#45 NetBIOS over TCP/IP NBDD - NetBIOS over TCP/IP NBDD address(es) in priority order".

I also have the same option under the [General] Tab

thanks!
