[THIN] Re: Disable a service remotely

I can’t answer for him, but usually thin client devices are not on the domain, they are standalone, might be different in this case though

Why not using GPO?

Great idea.  I think I could write a Wyse script (.rsp) and deploy it through WDM.

 

Thanks for all the replies.

You could import a registry key during a login script for workstations which could adjust the service start up value to "disabled"

******************
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SNMP]
"Start"=dword:00000004
*******************

This kind of setup would require that the end user logging in has rights to modify registry values like this (local administrator / possibly power user).

Follow the import of this registry value with a "net stop snmp" to disable the service until such time as the machine is rebooted and the adjusted value for the service start up takes affect.

You can of course always view the status and make adjustments to the services of other machines via the following command syntax:

"services.msc /computer=computername"

No, I'm not using Altiris. I'm just using Wyse Device Manager.  I guess what I'll have to do is create another image with SNMP disabled and push it out to everyone.  I was just hoping there was an easier command line utility for this.

are you using Altiris to manage those Hector?  You could make an Altiris job to rip the settings right out of the registry on embedded xp.

Thanks, that seems to work well on Windows XP, but not on Windows XP embedded (Wyse TCs).  sc does not seem to be present.

If you can't use a GPO then something like:-

 

For /f "tokens=1" %i in ('net view') do "sc %i config snmp start=disabled"

 

Should do the trick

Thanks,

 

can this be scripted?  I need to disable SNMP on 200 clients.

Hi all, is there a way to disable a service remotely through a script?
