Enabling and starting RasMan service from batch file

[Guest mirin]

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

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.

Dave/John,

 

Thanks a lot for your advice.

I could achieve the task with the sc.exe tool.

 

Many Thanks!
