NLBmgr

Updated: January 21, 2005

Using Network Load Balancing Manager, you can configure and manage your Network Load Balancing clusters and all cluster hosts from a single computer, and you can also replicate the cluster configuration to other hosts. You can start Network Load Balancing Manager from the command-line using the command nlbmgr.exe, which is installed in the systemroot\System32 folder in the Windows Server 2003 family of products.

Syntax

nlbmgr [/help] [/noping] [/hostlist FileName] [/autorefresh [Interval]]

Parameters

/help

Displays help at the command prompt.

/noping

Network Load Balancing Manager will not ping the hosts prior to trying to contact them through Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI). Use this option if you have disabled ICMP on all available network adapters. If you use this option, you will experience a delay if Network Load Balancing Manager attempts to contact a host that is not available.

/hostlistFileName

After Network Load Balancing Manager starts, the hosts specified in FileName will be loaded into Network Load Balancing Manager.

/autorefresh [Interval]

Causes Network Load Balancing Manager to refresh its host and cluster information every [Interval] seconds. If no interval is specified, the information is refreshed every 60 seconds.

Remarks

As part of the Windows Server 2003 Administration Tools Pack, Network Load Balancing Manager can also be installed and used on Windows XP Professional. You can use Network Load Balancing Manager on Windows XP Professional only to manage Network Load Balancing clusters on remote computers running the Windows Server 2003 family of products. You can not install the Network Load Balancing service itself on Windows XP Professional.
