Stop a service on all machines in a file.

To disable a service on all or on specified PCs in a domain,
the best is to make a Group Policy!
Make the following on your Domain Controller:
Start->Programs->Administrative Tools->Default Domain Security Policy

In the Console:
Security Settings->System Services->Choose the specified Service->Disable
Note this will affect all PC's

For specified PC's make the following:
Start->run->mmc->Add/Remove Snap-in->Security Templates->Make a new Template->
Configure the specified service->Save the tempate on the Systemdrive

Open the Group Policy u want use -> Computer Configuration->Windows Settings->Rightclick Security Settings->Import Policy->Then choose the file u have created!

For say 100 Machines how do i do this.

specified machines? pcs in one specified ou? then make this:
Start->run->mmc->Add/Remove Snap-in->Security Templates->Make a new Template->
Configure the specified service->Save the tempate on the Systemdrive

Create a Group Policy for the ou -> Computer Configuration->Windows Settings->Rightclick Security Settings->Import Policy->Then choose the file u have created!

Make a txt file called Clients.txt on C:\ input all the PCs you want to stop the service om=n.
Make a batch file and input the following:

for /f %%a in (C:\Cients.txt) do sc \\%%a stop "Service Name"

Run the Batch file.

Hope it helps

Try this:

Click Start -> Run -> Cmd.exe
FOR /F "delims=#" %c IN ('Type C:\computers.txt') Do sc \\%c config devicelock  start= disabled

Sorry forgot the disable line :- S

 

Admin4XP:
Your command does not disable.

farhankazi:
Your command does not stop.

canali:
This script does not delete the service.

Try canali's batch for 'stop and disable'

Stop,Disable and delete. Any way to do this...
