Hello,

I need to install some software, but as part of the installation, we need to stop some services, as well as setting to manual (instead of Automatic).

I looked through some action guide documents on Bigfix website, and can see registry edits, but cannot see how to change a service status.

Is anyone able to help me out with this?

Thanks!

Mike

You should be able to find everything you need to know here:

Also check and see if you have the ‘Service Baseline Wizard’ in your Wizards menu. I’m not sure what site it’s living in these days, but if you have the wizard it will generate the necessary relevance and action script for you.
