Disable Services Recovery Console Windows 2008
Hiya,I'm getting continuous BSOD's on a domain controller and only solution so far is to reinstall it! I am determined to find the cause of this problem as Microsoft and HP are blaming each other, so refusing to help me.I reckon it's a service or driver causing the issue (it's been going on since August now!), and am trying to disable each service and/or driver one by one in the recovery console (as I believe this can be done).However, all the commands used do not exist for me when I boot off the DVD media and choose 'R' then Command Prompt. I'm trying to use LISTSVC, ENABLE & DISABLE, but none of these exist.Where are they located on Windows Server 2008?Thanks

Great! Just found thishttp://blogs.msdn.com/winre/, which states further down that "the services related commands (listsvc, enable and disable) that are not available, can be worked around by manually loading the registry hive using regedit".Why!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? That makes it a million times harder to disable 1 service at a time.

Hi,
I am not sure why this feature is removed in WinRE now. But this is by design.
You may refer to the following article to disable services.

Hi Lanky Doodle, having issues with HP server in combination with SBS 2008 (dutch). Server reboots constantly. Quite curious if you had the same problem as we did. HP says they don't know the problem. Currently on the phone with MS support (very nice btw, want to run things like listsvc.... you'd say MS engineers know it's not available in 2008) and they say it's probably a driver update from HP that they put on windowsupdate. This is the third time we have this issue. Server constantly reboots. Have this at 2 different customers btw. If you load safemode it reboots right after loading crcdisk.sys. If we disable automatic reboot a BSOD appears that says it has shut down windows in order to prevent problems. Error codes are: 0x0000007b 0xfffffa60005af9d0 0xffffffffc0000034 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000 They want to change the SATA mode to AHCI, but the HP BIOS doesn't seem to have any SATA options. Also noticed that the sticker inside the case doesn't call it a SATA Connector, it's specifically called 'SATA Optical Connector'. Also don't see any options to disable the SATA (and IDE) ports. TIA
