Hi Gents,

Please advise how to disable Enterprise Service Management Services in Windows Server 2022. i have tried to disable it from the Service Snap-in, but the disable drop menu is deemed (Cannot change its status, as in the screenshot). Also, I tried to disable this from GPO. Trying to disable it from GPO only stops it but does not disable it. Any advice??

    Try the following while running with SYSTEM privileges. First open an elevated Command Prompt and launch a SYSTEM shell:

    psexec -i -s cmd.exe

    If PsExec is not installed, download it from Microsoft Sysinternals and run the command from its directory. In the SYSTEM command window, set the service startup type to disabled:

    reg add "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\EntAppSvc" /v Start /t REG_DWORD /d 4 /f

    Confirm the change:

    reg query "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\EntAppSvc" /v Start

    Ensure the value is 0x4.

    Then reboot the OS
