Hi All,

It would be great to have a little script that removes the checkbox from the TCP/IP under my local area connection properties and check it in the VMware network adapter VMnet1 and vise versa.

if you have something like that Thanks!!!

do you mean a script that would remove the checkboxes on both a virtual and the ESX console? im a little confused, but i think you can do it. it would be easiest to enable SSH on the virtual server and facilitate the scipt via SSH on both devices...

possibly use a perl script as it will work on both OSes (i think.. can anyone veryify that perl works on ESX?)

is that what youre asking??

No. He's using a hosted version of VMware (workstation, server, or GSX) on a Windows platform and he wants to disable the TCP/IP protocol binding for the bridged or virtual adapters.

This is a one time configuration setting that usually happens when you build a host so why you need to automate this leaves me guessing, unless you have 100+ hosts to build and you're trying to save 3 mouse clicks.

At any rate, you will need VB Script or WMI to do this, or possibly reg hack. If your physical network adapters are of different make/models, good luck automating this since network settings in the registry are indexed by NIC make/model.
