How to change service startup type
|
|
Hi,
I was wondering if there is a way to change the service startup type. For example, change Automatic Updates service to manually start instead of automatically starting.
Thanks.

Hi Ryan, use or pick apart ServiceMode()

Thanks for the help. Is there an easier way? Any way to use a command line using a utility?
Thanks,

Commandline util... blasphemy!
This is a KiX board!

What could be easier than using a simple pre-written canned UDF: http://www.kixtart.org/board/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=12;t=000204

Blasphemer!
Why not use the GUI then!?

It would be easier to use the UDF than to code SC into KiX!

Agreed, Ryan - I recommend you use the GUI to do this as it would definitely be the easiest way.

Re: How to change service startup type

Actually, there are a couple of 'service control' UDFs in the UDF forum that use various means to control services. Just use the one that suits your needs and don't forget to read the fAQ forum on how to use UDFs.
BTW, it is normally not necessary to custom modify UDFs, though if you have improvements, the UDF writers are normally more than willing to improve the UDF in question.

Found the registry setting for it.
hklm\system\currentcontrolset\services\servicename\startup, change it to 3 for manual start.
Go to here for more info.

Thanks again for everyone's help

Good follow-up Ryan. Doing research is the first step to providing good solutions.

The ServiceMode() - Checks/sets the startup mode of a service UDF is using this type or registry key/value manipulation to get/set the service startup mode.

Well I see Jens pointed you to a UDF that does it via that method already.
Here is the MSKB article though for manipulating the Automatic Updates
as well as a trimmed down version of Jens UDF.
; Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 328010
; How to Configure Automatic Updates by Using Group Policy or Registry Settings
; http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=328010
SetServiceMode(,'Norton AntiVirus Server',2)
? 'Return value for updating key: '+@error+' '+@serror
Function SetServiceMode(optional $RemotePC,$Service,$StartValue)
DIM $SetMode
if len($RemotePC) $RemotePC=iif("\\"=left($RemotePC,2),$RemotePC,"\\"+$RemotePC)+"\" endif
$SetMode=writevalue($RemotePC+'HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\'+$Service,'Start',$StartValue,'REG_DWORD')
EndFunction

This forum has the best and faster replies of all the forum I've used. Including MS's forum. Thanks again for all the help and hope I can help in the future.

Ryan,
I still fail to understand why you would not use one of the UDFs suggested. Far easier than finding the reg key and hacking the reg.
|
|
|
|
Re: How to change service startup type
|
|
Ryan might not have realized how easy UDFs are to use and what wide selection of UDFs we're offering.
