Client Network Utility - how to run as a script?

    Does anyone know a command line equivalent of cliconfg.exe (Client Network Utility)? I'd like to be able to run it as a script instead of opening GUI. I checked SQL Resource Kit CD, MSDN, other forums, but couldn't find anything so far.

    Any advise is appreciated.

    Thanks

    Do you want to configure once and then distribute ?

    The Client Network configuration is in the registry at

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSSQLServer\Client\ConnectTo

    I was hoping to create a script and distribute it to many workstations, but it seems that modifying the registry directly is the only option.

    Thanks anyway.

    When I have registry changes to deploy to many workstations, I export the related key to a .reg first.  Then I 'connect network registry' to about 20 computers at a time and import that key in.  It's a lot faster than going around to every system and it's less disruptive to the end user.  You just have to keep track of off-line computers so you can get them next time they are available.

    Thanks, sounds like a good idea!
