SUMMARY

You can only uninstall the NWLink IPX/SPX protocol, Client Services for NetWare (CSNW), and Gateway Service for NetWare (GSNW) using the graphical user interface (GUI) in Windows NT. However, when you want to to simultaneously uninstall NWLink IPX/SPX, CSNW, and GSNW from a large number of computers, using the GUI may not be an efficient and flexible method. Using Setup.exe, there is a way to automate this uninstall process by running a batch file.

%SystemRoot%\system32\SETUP.EXE /f /i%SystemRoot%\system32\ncpashel.inf
/T NTN_InstallMode = DEINSTALL /T NTN_Origination = DEINSTALL
/T NTN_Infname = %SystemRoot%\system32\oemnsvnw.inf
/T NTN_SRCPATH = %SystemRoot%\system32 /T NTN_Infoption = NWWKSTA
3.Type the following lines to uninstall the NWLink SPX/IPX protocol:
