How can I turn off Netbios in 2003?

[.Adam Jones]

I want to secure my 2003 ADS server and not have it display in the
neighborhood network. All our clients are 2000/XP. Can I do this? How?

Thanks,

Adam

See the link below which describes the ramifications of such first. You disable it in
tcp/ip properties/advanced/wins. Removing it from Network Places will not really
improve security all that much if at all. Users can still search AD to find the
domain controllers. --- Steve
