I am not sure how the proper syntax, but you might be able to create a script with the "netsh" command, that could do this.

use group policy
user configuration >administrative templates >network> network connections
right panel apply disable add remove components for LAN or Remote connections
and
apply enable windows 2000 network connections for administrators
both of them

I dont know but check registry also If not registry key exists create it

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Wind ows\Network Connections

right panel create and check

dword named NC_AddRemoveComponents and its value 0
dword named NC_EnableAdminProhibits and its value 1

then restart
