Enabling a disabled service

[Guest]

I have SP2 deployed in a network and a particular service is disabled. I
would like to enable the service. I have tried using the SC utlity but
it did not work. Please let me know how this can be done.

it would be good to advise what service , does it have dependencies, what happens when you attempt to start the service, what is its startup type, can you use net start <name of service>

Regards

A few details - like the name of the "particular service", and any error
messages or event log messages - would be of great assistance.

It is the messenger service that is disabled in SP2 for Win XP

It is the Messenger service and the alerter service. I would like for net
send messages to be sent vis the lan, although SP2 has been deployed

Start
Run
type
compmgmt.msc
click OK

<Computer Management opens>

right click on Computer Management (Local)
select Connect to another computer...

once connected navigate to the relevant service and administer it

Okay, then I think you're in the wrong place. I think you're running
Windows XP Service Pack 2, which would be discussed in a Windows XP
newsgroup. But have you checked the Event Viewer for any relevant error
messages when trying to start the services?

I know how to enable a service . What I would like to do is to do it
remotely to a whole subnet and with the knowledge that the service is in
the disabled option currently so net start does NOT work.

Remotely change the value of "Start" in the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\YourServiceNameGoesHere

Set it to 2 for automatic or 3 for manual. You can disable it by setting it
to 4. I am sure you could automate this with a Python script using the
PyWin32 extensions or some other scripting language. (Python is what I use
for these kinds of tasks.) HTH.

Oops! My bad. I guess I should have tested that first. Please disregard.

Maybe you have a policy or permissions conflict.
