  • 1.  How do I remove HP Network Configuration Utility

    Posted Apr 04, 2011 12:44 PM

    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

    open the properties for your network adapter (any one will do)

    Go -properties and click on the HP tool and select 'uninstall'

    Also see  http://ctxadmtools.musumeci.com.ar/HPPSPCleaner/HPPSPCleanerDownload.html for a tool to strip all the HP components for you - I regularly use this after P2Vs.

    Thanks, that did the trick for me.  I'll also look at the tool you mentioned.  That would be very useful.

    go to network properties
    if you see any adapter right click the adapter go to  properties
    there you will find hp network configuration option select it and click uninstall
    if you dont have any adapter add one adapter from vm edit setting and then do the
    step as above
