On our servers with dual integrated NICs we disable the NIC not in use.
Several of the packaged NIC Driver updates will enable both NICS and apply
the update to all that need it. Not a bad thing but we like to keep the
Unused NIC disabled.
>>Netsh int show int<<
Always shows all interfaces admin enabled. Even when I issue
>>Netsh int set int name = "Local Area Connection 2" admin = disabled<<
>>Netsh int show int<<
shows all interfaces enabled.
The Red X icon disappears from systray but NETSH always shows enabled even
after reboot. I really would like to write a CMD shell wrapper that lists the
disbled NICs and goes by hind the updates to make sure the state is what we
want.
Thanks in advance
Terry
