shutdown script

[Guest Sailor]

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).
