You can diable netbios on your windows dhcp clients via dhcp option described below on msdn.

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc227276.aspx

 

In infoblox this comes to adding option 43 (vendor-encapsulated-options) and add the follwoing string in the value field :

01:04:00:00:00:02

 

Serching online for different dhcp servers on routers and firewalls sometimes a different notation was needed

as 0x01;0x04;0x00;0x00;0x00;0x02

or 010400000002

Has anyone been able to confirm that using DHCP option 43 with the string 01:04:00:00:00:02 disables NETBIOS on Windows workstations?
