[Alex Angelopoulos]

It's installed by default; what's the context?

Use the snetcfg.exe in the Driver Development Kit (http://www.microsoft.com/ddk/). You
can download the Windows 2000 DDK at no charge from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/ddk/W2kDDK.asp

Command to install "File and Printer Sharing":

snetcfg -v -s n

Thanks! I needed to install File and Printer Sharing because the images
we created removed the service. It was a decision at the time to remove
the service; however, since so many apps (primarily SMS) uses File and
Printer Sharing Service (RPC) then we needed to automate the install on
over 2000+ machines! Thanks KINDLY...Will try the SNETCFG option!

Ehh, err! That was the command for listing installed components.

Here is the correct command:

snetcfg -c s -i MS_Server

Another useful link.

I don't mind maintaining a "copy/paste" FAQ. :)

Yes, that is right. Snetcfg is a sample tool in the DDK
(...\src\network\config\netcfg) that must be compiled into an exe from the
source. It can list, install and deinstall most network components. Here is the
help output from it:

C:\>snetcfg /?
snetcfg [-v] [-l <full-path-to-component-INF>] -c <p|s|c> -i <comp-id>
where,
-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:
snetcfg -l c:\oemdir\foo.inf -c p -i foo
...installs protocol 'foo' using c:\oemdir\foo.inf

snetcfg -c s -i MS_Server

...installs service 'MS_Server'

OR

snetcfg [-v] -q <comp-id>
Example:
snetcfg -q MS_IPX
...displays if component 'MS_IPX' is installed

OR

snetcfg [-v] -u <comp-id>
Example:
snetcfg -u MS_IPX
...uninstalls component 'MS_IPX'

OR

snetcfg [-v] -s <a|n>
where,
-s provides the type of components to show
a == adapters, n == net components
Examples:
snetcfg -s n
...shows all installed net components

OR

snetcfg [-v] -b <comp-id>
Examples:
snetcfg -b ms_tcpip
...shows binding paths containing 'ms_tcpip'

General Notes:
-v turns on the verbose mode
-? Displays this help

All I can say is...much much much gratitude TORGEIR! I've tried it
finally on Windows 2000 platform and it works flawlessly! Finally, a
solution to a 2 month problem I've had. Others on the Net had similar
issue so I sent it to them...credit to you. Thanks.
