Netset.exeNEW

Server-only: This tool is included in the Windows 2000 Server Resource Kit only.


This tool can be used to configure a variety of network parameters from the command prompt. It can list, install, configure and uninstall networking components. This makes NetSet useful for automating post-setup network configuration in unattended mode when deploying Windows 2000 on multiple computers.

NetSet can also facilitate unattended resetting of network parameters on individual computers when recovering from user errors or hardware failures.

To list installed components, use the /display option.

For other operations, you must provide an answer file, which is a text file that describes the actions you want to perform. For more information on the syntax of the answer file, see Unattend.doc: Unattended Setup Parameters Guide, also included in the Windows 2000 Resource Kit.
