Guest mirin Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 Hello Experts, Every time my machine restarts, the RasMan (Remote Access Connection Manager) Service is disabled as a network security policy. I cannot change this policy for a single machine. So I want to write a batch file, scheduled to run at startup, which will: 1. Set the startup type to Automatic or Manual 2. Start the service I suppose for #2 I'll need to run the command 'NET START RasMan'. What command do I need to put in the batch file for #1? Much appreciate any advice. Regards, Mirin

Guest John John (MVP) Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 Re: Enabling and starting RasMan service from batch file With NT 4.0 I'm not sure that there is an installed tool to do this. The start type for the service is held in the Start value at: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\RasMan Start values are: 0x0 (Boot) 0x1 (System) 0x2 (Automatic) 0x3 (Manual) 0x4 (Disabled) You could use a registry file or the Resource Kit's Reg.exe to change the value to suit but I don't think this is the best way to do this, try it and see. The prefered way of doing this would be by using the SC.exe tool from the Resource Kit.
