download -> http://archive.msdn.microsoft.com/nvspscrub
The only command line tool that I know with possibility to enable or disable protocols from a network adapter.
Before I used this: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/winsdk/archive/ … vista.aspx
with a few variants with hardcoded values, but nvspscrub is better
