Hi all,

Is it possible to change a service from auto to manual via a script or
similar? I have around 400 machines that I need to do. Need to change the
computer browser service from auto to manual.

Thanks for any help.

The "Start" value in the description of each service determines
the startup mode. 2 is automatic, 3 is manual. This allows you
to write a script, using regedit.exe, to change the value from
2 to 3. To apply it to all 400 machines, use psexec.exe from
www.sysinternals.com.

Thanks for the link matey. I'll have a look at the app.
