Set w32tm to start Auto from the cmd Line or Registry.

Can someone tell me how to set the w32tm service to start automatically
from the command line or from the Registry.

Registry would be preferred, but I would like to know of a method via
Command line as well.

Thanks

Sid.

There appears to be a contradiction in your question: Starting
a service from the Command Prompt implies that you do it
manually, not automatically!

It's done like with any other service:

net start w32time

Note that the name is "w32time", not "w32tm" as you suggest.
 
Please read my question.

I don't want to start the service, I want to set it to start
automatically.

I did read your question - else I would not have picked
up your incorrect service name.

So where does the Command Prompt come into this?

I don't doubt Pegasus did read your question but grammatically, it's
difficult to determine whether you intend that the verb "to set" is
modified by "to start automatically" or by "from the command line
......". Perhaps that's why there's some confusion.

IOW, Do you mean:

.... to set (the service) to start from the command-line/registry
automatically ...

or

..... to set, from the command-line/registry, (the service) to start
automatically ...
 
The name is correct, if it's referred from the command line.

Services can easily be started, stopped and configured from the command
line. These changes can be executed via a batch file "Automatically"
You only need to know the command.

Any help is appreciated.

If he wants to configure the service to start automatically when the
computer starts he can use sc.exe (sc config).
