    I want to test enabling a disabled service through a command line and not through a GPO.  Problem is that everything that I search for shows how to enable that through GPO.  Can anyone assist?

    Just use the following command line

    sc config servicename start= auto

    Note the space behind the = sign which is required.

    I would recommend that you use other technet forums for non SCCM related questions.

    Using the SC command or a VB script can help you An example VB script is below

    strComputer = "."
    Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

    Set colServiceList = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
    ("Select * from Win32_Service where Name = 'YourServiceNameHere'")

    For Each objService in colServiceList
    objService.ChangeStartMode("Automatic")
    Wscript.Sleep 5000
    errReturnCode = objService.StartService()
    Next

    I also was playing with that and used "sc config servicename start= disabled" to redisable it.

    Thank you.  This is going to be huge for our software updates and we were tasked with figuring this out by today.
