batch file to disabe a service

[eyeball]

hi all

does anyone know if it is possible through a batch file to diable a service? i.e turn it from being "automatic" to "disabled"?

thanks

You can use this :

sc stop "service"
sc config "service" start= disabled

Where service is the name of the service you want to stop (ie: "Automatic Updates").

Note that you must have the quotes, and that there is a space before disabled, that must be there. You can get the service names from the services control panel, enter them exactly as they are listed.

Yes, you can run sc multiple times in a batch file.

run sc without any cmmand line to get a list of possible options - there are a lot!
