WHS "Turn all the cr*p off" batch file

[Bazrah]

Hey kids,

I stream 1:1 bd rips from my Acer easystore and get fed up with WHS deciding it'll run some background process like demigrator which then ties up the i/o and means the movie stutters.

I've got a batch file to turn off the demigrator (and another to turn it back on) but I was thinking, can I add other services to the list? Things like indexing (and anything else you can think of)?

Can I just add them to this batch file? Any special syntax?

Code:

@echo off
sc stop "DriveExtenderMigrator"
sc config "DriveExtenderMigrator" start= disabled
exit

and then to the "On" file?

Code:

@echo off
sc config "DriveExtenderMigrator" start= demand
sc start "DriveExtenderMigrator"
exit

Just save them somewhere in the filesystem and set up a scheduled task to run at whatever time you want
I've just shut off DriveExtenderMigrator and my WHS seems to be streaming much better - my BR 1:1 MKV rips were stuttering something fierce last night -- only had my PCZH streaming for 10 mins now so we'll see what happens over the next hour or two

Yeah, these batch files work really well.

Are there any other services you turn off when streaming?

1:1 bdrips with hd audio work perfectly for me streaming from the whs to the A-200.

a better solution for this would be to run the drive balancer util to get your drives balance out overnight and future changes will be minor impacting..
