How to Automate Uninstalling the DLC Protocol

ID: Q239829

The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft BackOffice Server versions 4.0, 4.5

SUMMARY

You can uninstall the data link control (DLC) protocol only by using the graphical user interface (GUI). This method is not efficient or flexible if you want to uninstall the DLC protocol on many computers. However, you can automate the uninstallation using the Setup.exe file located in the %SystemRoot%\System32 folder.


MORE INFORMATION

To uninstall the DLC protocol, you must first uninstall the protocol and then update the bindings using the following steps:

  1. Create a batch or script file and give it a name (for example, Unistdlc.bat).


  2. Make sure the Oemnxpdl.inf file is available in the %SystemRoot%\System32 folder.


  3. Type the following commands into the batch file:


    4. cd %SystemRoot%
    setup.exe /f /i%SystemRoot%\system32\ncpashel.inf /t NTN_InstallMode = deinstall /t NTN_Origination = deinstall /t NTN_Infname = %SystemRoot%\system32\oemnxpdl.inf /t NTN_SRCPATH = %SystemRoot%\system32 /T NTN_Infoption = DLC
    NOTE: The command line that begins with "Setup.exe" must be on one line without a carriage return (CR) or line feed (LF). It is wrapped in this article for readability purposes.

  4. Save and close the batch file.


  5. Run the batch file to uninstall the DLC protocol.


  6. Update the bindings by running the Runncpa.exe tool from Microsoft BackOffice SNA Server at a command prompt.


  7. Restart your computer.
