Net stop won't disable them, it will just stop them and then they will
return to their configured behaviour according to what their startup mode
(ie auto, manual, disabled)is, when the machine restarts.
I think the OP wants them disabled for good.

WMI script or GP is prob the best and easiest way to go.

The simple way:
    net stop <name of service>

You can put this in a .bat (.cmd) file.

Not sure about your second question.//

Howdy!



I'm trying to find a way to script a mass disable of services on a series
of standalone WinXP SP2 boxes.



I need to be able to be run it locally under admin, without installing
additional software (i.e. default XP SP2).



Need to disable about 25 services. 



Additionally, anyone with knowledge of systems set up under NISPOM
standards:  I'm getting a TON of 560 failures.  Any techniques on audit log
reductions?



Thanks!
