Hi, I wanted to know what services I can disable without errors in sbs
2008. Thanks

Why do you want to disable services?

Whether you can disable a service depends on whether you or Windows are
directly or indirectly making use of the service. For example, if you are
not using your SBS server for emails then you could disable all of the
exchange related services, but if you do use it for email then that would be
a bad idea. You might find that some services you could disable with no
apparent problem and yet days or weeks later start to encounter issues
because of it. As a guide, I'd leave all the services alone.

Sorry, I appreciate this isn't the answer you were looking for.

Brian is absolutely correct here. In the old days, it made sense to look at
what services could be disabled, since MS enabled a bunch of stuff that
didn't really need to be enabled. But those days are long gone, and on any
2008 or later server, it's a really bad idea to start messing with MS
services. The new Server Manager does a good job of enabling only that which
needs to be enabled. And SBS also does a good job of only installing and
turning on the services it requires. So leave well enough alone unless you
want to create an unsupported and misbehaving system.
