Disabling the Microsoft LLDP Protocol Driver using Group Policy

  • 772

I need to campus-wide disable the Microsoft LLDP Protocol Driver using Group Policy / SCCM / or any other means of centralized management, because I've written my own LLDP broadcast service I plan on using instead of the crippled MS implementation.

I tried googling but wasn't able to come up with a working solution.

Ethernet Properties Window

EDIT: I took two registry snapshots and compared them, the three keys that change when the checkbox is toggled are located under

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MsLldp\Linkage

The keys are Bind / Route / Export

The problem is when these keys are deleted / emptied, the checkbox turns itself back on.

group-policy

    Alright.

    I just deleted the entire

    HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MsLldp\

    key and while that turned the check box on again, Windows actually stops sending LLDP PDUs (confirmed that using Wireshark)
