I miss a task that can manipulate a service on a remote machine.
F.e. change a service startup type from "Automatic" to "Manual".

Hi GVA Zug, welcome to the forum!

You could do this with the use of the powershell task:

Set-Service –Name theservice –Computer thecomputer –StartupType “selectedType”

Where selectedType value can be:

Automatic
Manual
Disabled

Great answer, thank you.

What about the solution to execute a *.reg File with VisualCron?
I could produce several *.reg Files with the Settings needed. As soon as it's being executed, the Registry is updated.

Nevertheless I'm gonna try your way.

There is nothing wrong with your method at all. It's a bit more work and you have to have fysical files.

The way I described it everything is in Visualcron, but your method will also rock. 😎

Since I managed to make your method happen, I', gonna stick with this.

That was the script text

Set-Service "Geomedia WebMap" -ComputerName "didbnt12.zg.ch" -StartupType Disabled
