doomangel Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 the whole point is that turning Windows Server 2008 to workstation-like is easier than turning Vista SP1 to a more light Version by deactivating services and removing unneeded components to build a gaming OS(such as Media Center and Aero for example) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oskingen Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 The same thing you do with Vista sp1 is the the same thing you do with Server 2008. Don't think you will be more performance than ever. It's not a matter about the OS but How you tweak your system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a matter about the OS but How you tweak your system.Nah, we are testing this at hardware.no at the moment, at it seems like if you have a vlited Vista SP1 which seems more or less identical with a Server 2008 the Server 2008 still is quite a lot faster..No idea why, but it's seems like it's something with Server 2008 that makes it faster than Vista SP1 even if you have a extreme light Vista.

kailm Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I know your talking about getting rid of the bloat, but at the same time you can turn off everything that you dont really need.I use a batch script that does this. I call it stop-vista.bat which turns off many services not needed. Of course it depends on the users, but it helps load times and memory usage on the system.Here is a list of things which I turn off and find annoying to be running. Use at own risk, dont test this on your running system, use it in vmware so that you are comfortable!!! Copy in notepad save as bat file.You can do the exact opposite of what is listed below to start it up again. If you decide to keep UAC and turn off all the services below, it will not work! You have to disable UAC.=============rem disable UAC%windir%\System32\reg.exe ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v EnableLUA /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /frem disable 64bit driver signingbcdedit /set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKSsc stop aelookupsvcsc config aelookupsvc start= disabledsc stop appinfosc config appinfo start= disabledsc stop bitssc config bits start= disabledsc stop bfesc config bfe start= disabledsc stop senssc config sens start= disabledsc stop eventsystemsc config eventsystem start= disabledsc stop dpssc config dps start= disabledsc stop trkwkssc config trkwks start= disabledsc stop dnscache sc config dnscache start= disabledsc stop ikeextsc config ikeext start= disabledsc stop iphlpsvcsc config iphlpsvc start= disabledsc stop policyagentsc config policyagent start= disabledrem sc stop ktmrmrem sc config ktmrm start= disabledrem sc stop netprofmrem sc config netprofm start= disabledrem sc stop nlasvcrem sc config nlasvc start= disabledsc stop wpdbusenumsc config wpdbusenum start= disabledrem printer might be needed so use spoolersc stop spoolersc config spooler start= disabledsc stop cscservicesc config cscservice start= disabledsc stop pcasvcsc config pcasvc start= disabledsc stop emdmgmtsc config emdmgmt start= disabledsc stop seclogonsc config seclogon start= disabledrem sc stop wscsvcrem sc config wscsvc start= disabledsc stop shellhwdetectionsc config shellhwdetection start= disabledrem sc stop slsvcrem sc config slsvc start= disabledsc stop ssdpsrvsc config ssdpsrv start= disabledsc stop lmhostssc config lmhosts start= disabledsc stop termservicesc config termservice start= disabledrem sc stop themesrem sc config themes start= disabledsc stop webclientsc config webclient start= disabledsc stop windefendsc config windefend start= disabledsc stop wersvcsc config wersvc start= disabledsc stop mpssvcsc config mpssvc start= disabledsc stop winmgmtsc config winmgmt start= disabledsc stop wsearchsc config wsearch start= disabledsc stop w32timesc config w32time start= disabledsc stop wuauservsc config wuauserv start= disabledsc stop browsersc config browser start= disabledsc stop tabletinputservicesc config tabletinputservice start= disabledpowercfg.exe /hibernate offpause================= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomorrow Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Were do i have to put the .bat file kailm?(say i want to integrate it into Vista image and run during/before installation of Vista) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kailm Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Im not sure if there is a vlite section to do batch file during the install, but you can disable the services under the tweaks in vlite directly.I would just recommend using the batch file to stop or start it depending on what you need to do after the system is installed.Here is the start section of the file.======================sc config aelookupsvc start= autosc start aelookupsvcsc config appinfo start= autosc start appinfosc config bits start= autosc start bitssc config bfe start= autosc start bfesc config sens start= autosc start senssc config eventsystem start= autosc start eventsystemsc config dps start= autosc start dpssc config trkwks start= autosc start trkwkssc config dnscache start= autosc start dnscache sc config ikeext start= autosc start ikeextsc config iphlpsvc start= autosc start iphlpsvcsc config policyagent start= autosc start policyagentsc config ktmrm start= autosc start ktmrmsc config netprofm start= autosc start netprofmsc config nlasvc start= autosc start nlasvcsc config wpdbusenum start= autosc start wpdbusenumrem printer might be needed so use spoolersc config spooler start= autosc start spoolersc config cscservice start= autosc start cscservicesc config pcasvc start= autosc start pcasvcsc config emdmgmt start= autosc start emdmgmtsc config seclogon start= autosc start seclogonsc config wscsvc start= autosc start wscsvcsc config shellhwdetection start= autosc start shellhwdetectionsc config slsvc start= autosc start slsvcsc config ssdpsrv start= autosc start ssdpsrvsc config lmhosts start= autosc start lmhostssc config termservice start= autosc start termservicesc config themes start= autosc start themessc config webclient start= autosc start webclientsc config windefend start= autosc start windefendsc config wersvc start= autosc start wersvcsc config mpssvc start= autosc start mpssvcsc config winmgmt start= autosc start winmgmtsc config wsearch start= autosc start wsearchsc config w32time start= autosc start w32timesc config wuauserv start= autosc start wuauservsc config browser start= autosc start browsersc config tabletinputservice start= autosc start tabletinputservicepause==================== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
