No. I could not find anything in Books Online, but since this seems like
something you would want to, I inquired in our private MVP forum. But
there is no possbility to do this during setup.

The good news is that if you need do this programmatically - and I suppose
that is why you ask - you can use WMI post-install to do this. I don't know
much about WMI myself, but I was offered these links:
