Policy or script to disable lmhosts funcionality

[Guest]

Hello,

Trying to 'clean up' our network. What ways can I disable / remove the lmhosts file / function across 600 workstations? I use kixtart as a logon process and could probably get it to work with registry settings - but the userID would need ADMIN rights to the wkst in order to have authority to change registry settings.

OR Is there a policy in AD that I'm not finding?

If disabling them is fine create a startup script that deletes the file [ del
c:\winnt\system32\etc\drivers\lmhosts ]. Startup scripts run in system context and
are part of Group Policy computer configuration. The link below gives more
etails. --- Steve
