Enabling/Disabling a NIC via the Scheduler

On one of our SBS 2011 Servers we'd like to be able to enable/disable a particular NIC for specific periods.
Is this possible and if so how?

Many thanks.

I never realised that SBS only supported one NIC. When I have spoken to Microsoft and HP about odd behaviour in the past when trying to configure more than one NICs and they  never mentioned this. Am using several SBS with iSCSI that are using additional NICs.

Will play with the devcon. Many thanks to you both.
You can install multiple NICs but it will cause you issues with the SBS Console wizards among other things.

Have a read here for more info:

Thanks - this is definitely the case with 2011 Essentials but also for SBS 2011 Standard?
Many thanks
