It can't be THAT simple!? How do I determine the service name as windows sees it?
Sorry, just shocked at the simplicity!

I don't want to disable it just restart it every 15mins or so, we have more than 11 users, so our exchange users keep getting kicked out. Until we can build a new server, and possibly do a swing migration to get all the users out of this domain.
If you have more than 11 users and you are having licensing issues then that means you only have 5 CAL's. SBS cannot count and will not cause problems until 6 users more than you have CAL's connect. i.e. you have been in a licensing violation for a long time and looking for a workaround again. I would suggest migrating soon or buying CAL's or you can wind up with some "funky" reboots that can happen at inopportune times.
Thanks for the comments guys, this should get us through till nw year, and the office opens again.
