[NetBindings]

Answer File = Unattend.txt and Sysprep.inf

The [NetBindings] section contains entries for disabling, enabling, and demoting binding rules for network components such as services, protocols, and adapters.

You can list each entry more than once in this section, but you must list the network components that comprise the binding order/path in the following order:

network_service, network_protocol, network_adapter

The binding order/path must always start with a client/service (if one exists) and end with an adapter. Setup ignores incorrectly specified binding orders/paths. If you list more than one item, then separate the values with commas and enclose the entire string of values in quotation marks.

Important

• For Windows 2000 and Windows XP, do not use commas as separators when specifying binding paths. For more information, see Microsoft Knowledge Base article 263241 (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;263241).

Define network services in [NetServices], network protocols in [NetProtocols], and network adapters in [NetAdapters].

Sample

This sample demonstrates one use of the [NetBindings] section of Unattend.txt.

[NetBindings]
Demote = "MS_Server, MS_NetBT, MS_TCPIP, Adapter1"
Disable = "MS_Server, MS_NetBEUI, Adapter2" 
Enable = "MS_Server, MS_NetBT, MS_TCPIP, Adapter1"

Demote

Demotes the specified binding path/order to the bottom of the list of binding paths that start with the first specified network component.

Demote = "MS_Server, MS_NetBT, MS_TCPIP, Adapter1"

Return to top

Disable

Disables bindings between network components in the specified path.

Disable = "MS_Server, MS_NetBEUI, Adapter2"

Disable = Adapter1              ; incorrect
Diable = Adapter2, MS_TCPIP   ; incorrect

Return to top

Enable

Enables bindings between components in the specified path.

Enable = "MS_Server, MS_NetBT, MS_TCPIP, Adapter1"

Return to top
