Batch file to start Messenger service.

[Guest]

I would like to start the Messenger service (for net send) on the machines in
the network I manage.

We are running AD but there appears to be no group policy in force. I am
investigating this, but would like a quick fix for the time being for this
issue.

All the machines are SP2 - So by default, this service is disabled.

Does anybody have a script which I could run on a machine that will change
the status of this service from Disabled to Automatic, and then start the
service?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

%SystemRoot%\system32\sc.exe config Messenger start= auto
%SystemRoot%\system32\net.exe start Messenger


(there is supposed to be a space behind start= )

Thankyou very much, I thought it would be a little more complicated than
that!
