Configuring NetBIOS over TCP/IP

Question

How do I disable NetBIOS using netsh?
Thank you,

I had issues trying to set an XP box with WMIC command-line utility as well.  If the box is Vista or 'better' you can use WMIC to do just about anything.
Here's what I use - not much different than everyone else's suggestion:
wmic nicconfig where (IPEnabled=TRUE) call SetTcpipNetbios 1
wmic nicconfig where (IPEnabled=TRUE) call SetWINSServer "IP1","IP2"
wmic nicconfig where (IPEnabled=TRUE) call SetDNSServerSearchOrder ("IP1","IP2","IP3","IP4","IP5")
wmic nicconfig where (IPEnabled=TRUE) call FlushDNS
Obviously, I've sanitized our network settings from this.
You can search through the settings for netsh on each level with the '/?'.
Example:
c:\Scripts>netsh /?
Usage: netsh [-a AliasFile] [-c Context] [-r RemoteMachine] [-u [DomainName\]Use
rName] [-p Password | *]
             [Command | -f ScriptFile]
