Batch file to stop some services

use the following script:

@echo off
net stop "Windows Management Instrumentation"
net stop "SMS Agent Host"

To stop WMI, you can use:
NET STOP WINMGMT

I'm not familiar with the SMS Agent Host (I don't have SMS/SCCM installed on my network yet).  Go to the Services Administrative tool and open the properties of the service in question - look for the service name (see image below- at the top of the general tab) - then run the command NET STOP with the service name (in the same format as the WMI service)

You can also use SC -

SC STOP WINMGMT

The full service name between " " will work.
Use net start to find all the services also.
If you use the names stated there it will work.

net STOP /y winmgmt

It will stop the service without waiting for a prompt... default will be taken as "Yes"

thanks. Can you tell me how to run it silently? I don't want a prompt asking me to click on a yes or no

net STOP /y winmgmt

Folks, my batch script is as follows:

@echo off
net stop /y "Windows Management Instrumentation"
net stop /y "SMS Agnet Host"

I am not getting the prompt for a y/n. So thanks fellows. However I am still getting the black screen which is actually telling me that it is stopping the services. Is there a way that I can stop the screen to come up? I just want the script to run silently.

Creating a starter.vbs file.

Wizzie, I did not understand. I created a .vbs file with the code mentioned by you. Now, how do i go ahead?

go to command prompt..... n type

somefile.vbs "Batch_File_Path"

Thanks, it worked
