I am P2Ving some HP machines and have read the posts here on how to remove most of the HP components but I am stuck on how to get rid of the HP network Configuration Utility program which puts the HP Network icon in the system tray. There is a post from Guillermo Musumeci back in 2007 that said using this command:
snetcfg.exe -v -u cq_cpqteam
should do it but I can't find snetcfg.exe on this server.
There is also a post from Jasemccarty in 2007 that said this keymay be the key you have to remove:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network\
{4D36E975-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\{FD0FF0D6-4876-4894-9274-258564E35C07}
But that key doesn't appear to be in the registry on this server. Anyone have any ideas on how to remove this last bit of HP centric software from a P2V'd VM?
Anyone know why HP makes it so blasted difficult to remove their drivers and other components?
thanks,
Dan
