DEP options greyed out in 2008 bcdedit

[Guest boe]

Hello,

 

I was having issues with a program running in 2008 so I tried a bcdedit

command that I found on the web but can't seem to find any more. When I go

to Data Execution Prevention under system properties, advanced perfromance

options - I can't check either option even though I'm logged in as

administrator. Anyone know the right command to enable it as it was?

 

Thanks

Hello boe,

 

Check out this command line:

bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOff turns off DEP

 

bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOn turns on DEP

 

Best regards

Hello boe,

 

If it does not help, and it didn't during my testing with server 2008, use

this one:

 

bcdedit.exe /set nx OptOut

 

Sorry for the other posting with the incorrect command, but this one enables

my DEP and i can choose again the settings.
