I need to mass disable interfaces on windows machines (more than 100 machines). I tried using:

netsh interface set "VirtualBox Host-Only Network" disable

But it does not work. (I found an article describing that it works on win 2003 server). I can run commands remotely with psexec.

Do you have any hints?

Thanks in advance!

It might be helpful if you were more specific than "does not work" by including an error message. You could also include a link to the article you mentioned. – Dennis Williamson Sep 3 '09 at 16:33

It may be that you need another "interface" keyword and "disabled" instead of "disable":

netsh interface set interface "VirtualBox Host-Only Network" disabled

Disabling LAN interfaces with netsh doeas not work on Windows XP. The help shows following:

admin   - whether the interface should be enabled (non-LAN only)
connect - whtether to connect the interface (non-LAN only)
newname - new name for the interface (LAN only)
