Different Windows 2000 load up configurations

M

mondeoman

Does anyone know how I can configure Windows 2000 professional to load
in different configurations?

For example, one configuration for development where services like sql
server, IIS etc. are running and another for gaming where only
essential services are running.


Any help appreciated.

Take a look at hardware profiles.

Had a look at this. I am probably missing something but it doesn't
seem to offer any facility to manage services based on profile.

How do I need to use hardware profiles to create different performance
configurations?

Read your help files again. This is from my NT4 box, much the same
general information for other NT versions:

Hardware Profiles

You can use the Hardware Profiles feature to create and save profiles of
different computer configurations.

For example, if you are using a portable computer, you may want to
activate particular devices and services, depending on whether your
computer is docked or undocked. You can do this by using the Hardware
Profiles feature. First, create a Hardware Profile using the Systems
tool in Control Panel. Then, you can select the profile you want to
activate from the list that appears at Startup.

You can also enable or disable devices and services within a particular
profile. To do this, double-click Devices or Services in Control Panel.
A list of devices or services appears. To enable or disable a specific
device or service, click HW Profiles.
