jheibeck Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 In our domain, the network people have decided that certain network settings must be configured. I use Symantec Ghost and Sysprep to create images. Unfortunatly, Sysprep wipes out the required network settings. Can anyone help me discover the registry keys to acheive the following? Or, it seems that I should be able to configure these in the sysprep.inf file, but I don't know how.The settings:1. The properties under the Local Area Connection should have the "Client for Microsoft Networks" box *unchecked*. (Question about this- what does unchecking this box do?)2. Our domain must be listed on the DNS tab under TCP/IP Properties > Advanced > DNS3. On this same tab, the "Register this connection's addresses in DNS" box must be *unchecked*.We do a lot of ghosting and I really need to automate these settings or they will be forgotten.I'v tried to isolate the settings using Regsnap, but there are to many differences and I don't know which ones apply to MY settings.

jheibeck Posted August 30, 2006 Author Share Posted August 30, 2006 Well I solved #2 by searching for our domain in the registry and exporting it. I sure need help with the other 2 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDS250 Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 You could always set the network settings from a batch file using the NETSH.exe enviroment.On a a machine with the network settings configured use this command:netsh.exe int ip dump > c:\ipsettings.txtThat will create the netsh script that you run on the freshly imaged machinenetsh.exe exec ipsettings.txtIf you are using static IP address's you will want to edit the ipsettings.txt file and change the ip settings.Hope that helps.
