Runtime Data

Usage (stdout):

netcfg [-v] [-winpe] [-l <full-path-to-component-INF>] -c <p|s|c> 
       -i <comp-id>
    
    -winpe installs TCP/IP, NetBIOS and Microsoft Client for Windows 
           preinstallation environment
    -l	   provides the location of INF
    -c	   provides the class of the component to be installed (p == Protocol, 
           s == Service, c == Client)
    -i	   provides the component ID

    The arguments must be passed in the order shown.

    Examples:
    
    netcfg -l c:\oemdir\myprot.inf -c p -i myprot
    
        Installs protocol 'myprot' using c:\oemdir\myprot.inf

    netcfg -c s -i MS_Server
     
        Installs service 'MS_Server'
 
OR

netcfg [-v] -winpe

    Example:
    
    netcfg -v -winpe

        Installs TCP/IP, NetBIOS, and Microsoft Client for Windows 
        preinstallation environment

OR

netcfg [-v] -q <comp-id>

    Example:
    
    netcfg -q MS_IPX
    
        Displays if component 'MS_IPX' is installed

OR

netcfg [-v] -u <comp-id>

    Example:

    netcfg -u MS_IPX

        Uninstalls component 'MS_IPX'

OR

    -s  provides the type of components to show (a == adapters, 
        n == net components)

    Example:
    
    netcfg -s n

        Shows all installed net components

OR

netcfg [-v] -b <comp-id>

    Example:

    netcfg -b ms_tcpip

        Shows binding paths containing 'MS_TCPIP'

OR

    Example:

    netcfg -m 

        Outputs the binding map to NetworkBindingMap.txt in the current directory.
        -v will also display the binding map to the console.

netcfg -d

    Example:

    netcfg -d

        Performs a cleanup on all networking devices.
		This will require a reboot.

OR

netcfg -x
