Hello guys i was wondering if any of you can help me to disable sms thanks.

SMS (System Management Server) creates local administrator accounts on each system, and it connects most times as domain admin. It also runs several processes. If you're wanting to kill it, you may be able to do so by killing the processes. One thing you can try is the resource kits "Kill.exe". Use task manager to get the process PID then from cmd line "kill -f PID". Make sure kill is in your path.

It will eventually be restarted so you'll have to keep an eye on it. If I remember right it also has a service that you can stop.

Hope that helps

yeah using the net stop command you can just stop the process. What does the -f do when executing kill.exe? I never use any switches.

Probably means Force.

I use tasklist and taskkill. Just export to a txt file and read it.

Sometimes as a user you do not have sufficient rights to kill a process using "End task" in task manager. If you run into this scenario then try kill with the -f (force) switch. In most cases it will work, I've only had it fail a handful of times.

I've used it to kill antivirus real time protection many times. Trend office scan comes to mind.

If you lack the rights to stop the service, and you will if you are just a lowly user, then give kill -f a whirl.

well thanks guys
but i was thinking about stopping the process from ever starting againg it was for a friend but thanks alot any ways
