Is there a way to disable windows services(such as
messenger service for example) before your image is built
and deployed? I was trying to find a way to disable them in
the target designer but so far have not had much luck. If
anyone can help I'd appreciate it greatly.

Thanks,

You can use sc.exe or you can find component that registers messenger
service, and change it's behavior, or remove it completely.

Yes but sc.exe has to be executed AFTER your target is
already built and deployed doesn't it? I would like to have
these services turned off BEFORE that point. I would like
to remove the services from target designer but I can't
seem to find half of them.
 
You can use the system cloning tool with the
CMIResealPhase set to 0. Make your changes and then
manually reseal the machine. When it shuts down you will
have your gold image with all of your changes. Make sure
you set the CMIRemoveUserSettings, I believe that is what
it's called, to FALSE. That way all of your changes will
not be wiped out. This is the only way I know of doing
this. That is how I disabled the services I didn't want
to start. Someone else may know something different, but
this works.

Hope that helps,

You can run sc.exe during FBA process.

Find Component: "Messenger Service" open Files: and disable msgsvc.dll this
will probably remove this service binary from your image (but I don't know
where it is registered).

In my image there is no such service (I have only what is necessary). And I
don't have unresolved dependencies. So you can remove this component and
find component that has dependency on it, and you can remove them one by
one, until there are no more unresolved dependencies. (If possible in your
image)
