Guest Sailor Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 I am trying to disable loopback adapeter with a shutdown script. It appears that when the script is running the network adapter is not found or it doesn't even disable it. I can enable and disable the adapter without any problems when I have not requested a shutdown. It appears that the network adapter information is all "gone" and not available anymore when the OS shutdown / reboot routine has started. Is there some other place I can to get this accomplished earlier before the network information is gone? e: cd \jobs\reboot date /t >reboot.txt time /t >>reboot.txt echo disabling loopback>>reboot.txt netsh interface set interface "LoopBack" DISABLED This is Windows 2003 SP2. The reason we do this is because during startup the network metric is not correct, making it not available on the backbone (it has another connection to the ineternet). We tried changing network order, but this has no effect. So, if there's another option,I'd like to hear it (we're not allowed to hard code a metric in).
