Windows Vista and Server 2008 Services Optimization (with Batch Command Script Optimizer)

Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 have more than 130 services installed by default, not counting the services that are added by third party software application. Comparing with just around 70 services installed by default in Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, the extra services definitely will increase the burden and use more system CPU and memory resources, slowdown system performance.

Thus, it becomes more important to optimize services that running on Windows Vista and Server 2008. By disabling unwanted and unnecessary services, or set them to manual start only when needed or required, it’s possible tweak Windows operating system to use less system resources and run faster.

The Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 Services Optimizer Batch Command Script can be used to optimize the running services in Windows Vista and/or Windows Server 2008. Each services contained in the script are accompanied with description by Microsoft and some analysis comment to let user knows that what a service is doing, and recommend whether such service can be disabled, set to manual start or disabled or not.

Windows Vista and Server 2008 Services Optimizer

It’s recommended that user make or export a backup of current startup type state of all services before running the Services Optimizer. In anything goes wrong, just run the batch command script generated to restore original state for all services’ startup type. Beside, the default settings in Services Optimizer script will enable Windows Aero, disable Print Spooler, turn off Windows Update, disable Windows Defender and disable some services related to local area network (LAN). If you need to use any of the set-to-disable services, modify the script to enable them.

The default configuration configured in the batch script is by no mean suitable for everybody. If you found that some functions and services that is required no longer work, re-enable the services. You can tweak other services to on or off status to your preference too. Users are encouraged to read through the descriptions and comments for all services to personalize and customize the state of Startup Type for services according to their preference by using the following command in the script fle. Do also note that not all services is available in each editions of Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 (the script is based on Windows Vista Ultimate), so some services may return failure message, which can be safely ignored.
