Making Route Delete Persistent

Hello,

Is there any way - other then scripting - to make a "route delete"
persistent?

Thx

Hmmm.. Usually one makes routes themselves persistent. I never heard of
someone making a deleted route persistent. Once it's gone it's gone. What
are you trying to do?

Hello,

I have a bunch of servers (FTP, IIS) in managed domain (W2K3). They all
have dual NICs. I have a private subnet on one NIC with only TCP/IP active
that is being NATted to public routable IP address (FTP, HTTP) and another
second NIC that has TCP/IP, File sharing etc ... enabled an that is used for
management of the server in that DMZ Windows domain (GPO's, Backups). Now
with 2 gateways on a different subnet you have an issue with routing (which
gateway to take ....) ... This is resolved by deleting the route to the
default gateway to the management subnet on the second nic so that web
serving and FTP can work. This works just fine, as long a the route to the
default gateway of that second NIC is deleted. A simple script takes care
of this for us, I was just wondering if we could do it with a registry
"hack" or what ever ... The firewall(s) protect the public addresses, the
natted private subnet, the mangement subnet etc ... ===> layerd defense
coupled with remote managebility. We can take it as far as we want to (VPN,
IPSec, Software Restriction Policies ...).

Cheers

Hello,

If you are able to run "route delete" on the machine to delete the route
entry, you may consider using a startup script to allow the machine run
"route delete" when the machine starts up.


For example, you can open a notepad, write the command in the notepad and
save as .bat file. Refer to the following article to assign the bat file as
the startup script. Thus, when the computer starts up, the computer will
run the bat file to delete the route entry.

http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;198642

If you only want to apply the script to a specific machine, you can assign
the startup script in the local policy by keying "gpedit.msc" on the
intended machine. The startup script is the located in the same location as:
Computer configuration\windows settings\script

HTH!

How else could you do it? You can't delete it before it is created!

Hello,

I believe you have already used the best way, the script.

I have traced the registry and found the route entry exsits in the
following registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
\SYSTEM
\CurrentControlSet
\Services
\Tcpip
\Parameters
\PersistentRoutes

The corresponding article has addressed this key:

"P" Switch for Route Command Added in Windows
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;141383

However, you also need to write a batch file to delete the corresponding
entry from the registry and put it in the startup script. Seems no
difference between the script you are using.

HTH!

What about preventing it from being made again?
