Disable an NT Service using scripting
Hi,
I am looking for a simple way to disable an NT Service via a script that can be run automatically when a user logs into their workstation. The desktop environment is Windows XP SP1.
Any suggestions much appreciated.

This has now been resolved:
'I used a free utility called 'XNET.exe' to answer this question. Our company uses a desktop management tool called ProfileMaker from DesktopStandard which I have used to kick off this exe during user log-in.'

You can use WMI in VBScript to accomplish this task:
The above code will do the job, but if you are in an Active Directory environment with Group Policies, then I suggest you control the service via a GPO. This way is more dynamic.
strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colServiceList = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_Service where Name = 'servicename'")
For Each objService in colServiceList
errReturnCode = objService.Change( , , , , "Disabled")
Next
