When working with an Interplay Environment on a laptop or older PCs the startup of all the Avid Interplay services can be annoying. They also consume a lot of CPU power. Here are some batch files to enable, start or disable the services.

To stop the services:

sc stop "Avid Interplay Media Indexer"
sc stop "Avid Lookup Service"
sc stop "Avid Machine Monitoring Service"
sc stop "Avid SDM Service"
sc stop "Avid Service Starter Service"
sc stop AvidStartup
sc stop "Avid System Configuration Service"
sc stop "Avid Time Synchronization Service"
sc stop "Avid Workgroup Server Browser"
sc stop "Avid Workgroup TCP COM Bridge"
sc stop Avid_Workgroup_Preview_Server

To disable the services so they don't auto start with windows:

sc config "Avid Interplay Media Indexer" start= disabled
sc config "Avid Lookup Service" start= disabled
sc config "Avid Machine Monitoring Service" start= disabled
sc config "Avid SDM Service" start= disabled
sc config "Avid Service Starter Service" start= disabled
sc config AvidStartup start= disabled
sc config "Avid System Configuration Service" start= disabled
sc config "Avid Time Synchronization Service" start= disabled
sc config "Avid Workgroup Server Browser" start= disabled
sc config "Avid Workgroup TCP COM Bridge" start= disabled
sc config Avid_Workgroup_Preview_Server start= disabled

To auto start the services with windows:

sc config "Avid Interplay Media Indexer" start= auto
sc config "Avid Lookup Service" start= auto
sc config "Avid Machine Monitoring Service" start= auto
sc config "Avid SDM Service" start= auto
sc config "Avid Service Starter Service" start= auto
sc config AvidStartup start= auto
sc config "Avid System Configuration Service" start= auto
sc config "Avid Time Synchronization Service" start= auto
sc config "Avid Workgroup Server Browser" start= auto
sc config "Avid Workgroup TCP COM Bridge" start= auto
sc config Avid_Workgroup_Preview_Server start= auto
