This us what I am using with MS-DOS 5.00 and LAN Manager 2.0:

COPY c:\lanman.dos\net.ini \net.del
LH MINSES
LH netwksta @\net.del
LH c:\lanman.dos\services\msrv /NUMMSGNAMES:2 /SIZMESSBUF:256 /LOGFILE:MESSAGES.LOG
LH c:\lanman.dos\services\netpopup
LH c:\lanman.dos\services\encrypt

The 'c:\lanman.dos\net.ini' contains the same information as the
[workstation] section in LANMAN.INI in the following format:

============
/CHARCOUNT:16
/CHARTIME:250
/CHARWAIT:128
/RIPL:NO
/COMPUTERNAME:JEL
/DOMAIN:LAN_SECTION
/HIMEM:NO
/KEEPAPIS:YES

<rest omitted for brevity>
============
Probably values should be specified for all parameters except 'wrkservices'.
Two special things about the argument file:
  - NETWKSTA wants to delete it 
  - line terminator must <LF> instead of the standard DOS <CR><LF>

One brave person (not me!) figured this out using a debugger. 
Of course this feature is not documented or supported by Microsoft
and might have unexpected side effects or stop working at any moment.
I have seen no bad effects except that I have not been able to figure
out how to specify multiple values for parameters (e.g. OTHDOMAINS).

Good luck,
