Automate Windows XP services management

When are problems and don't want to manually process all Windows XP services, the tool below can be used :

(thx to http://commandwindows.com/sc.htm )
services_automate.bat :

@echo off

set lp=%~dp0

cd %lp%
rem sc [command] [service name] ...
rem interesting is also the "config" command

echo "Starting setting of services to automatic"
for /F "delims= " %%i in (%lp%\services_names.txt) do (
echo "%%i"
sc start %%i
)
echo End
rem pause

(I got it from web, but can't find now the source to mention :( )

Sync on Windows

Below is a way to do automatically sync on Windows using a tool and run a script before the Logoff operation.



- Microsoft has a tool called SyncToy (or other one: DirSyncPro)
* create a batch file with :
rem using DirSyncPro
rem Using SyncToy
echo "Starting sync: ">> c:\Sync.txt
date /t >> c:\Sync.txt
time /t >> c:\Sync.txt
"C:\Program Files\SyncToy 2.0\SyncToyCmd.exe" -R
echo "Ended sync: ">> c:\Sync.txt
time /t >> c:\Sync.txt

To run it before logoff:

-http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307882 :
* run gpedit.msc
* User Configuration > Windows Settings > Scripts (Logon/Logoff)
* double click on Logoff script and Add the batch file
