We can modify the service startup type by using WMI or with PowerShell v2 we can use set-service. This has a number of other useful functions. Its just a matter of testing the type we want to change the startup to and applying it to the service. This becomes another function in my services module.

function Set-StartupType {
param ([string]$name, [string]$type) if ("Automatic", "Manual", "Disabled" -contains $type) {Set-Service -Name $name -StartupType $type} else {Write-Host "Type must be Automatic, Manual or Disabled"} } |
You do need elevated privileges to change the startup type.
