start a service with a script

[chrisosullivan1]

if a service is disactivated, what is the command to start it?
net start only starts a service if it stopped.

Is there a script out there to uninstall the file and print sharing option in xp?
thanks

Does it have to be uninstalled?
You can just use sc.exe to stop the Server service.

You might look at:

The XP version of snetcfg is snetcfg_wxp:

To uninstall File and Printer Sharing:
snetcfg_wxp -u MS_Server

This removes the registry entries and support for lanmanserver.

BTW - I really do not recommend this course. Disabling the Server service seems wiser.

As it is confusing at times to find the "real" service name you would do the following using sc.exe:

sc stop lanmanserver
sc delete lanmanserver

The second line removes the lanmanserver registry entries.
