A windows service in windows server 2003 keeps on disabling every day. I want to write a batch file which would check the status of the service and start it if its not running.
I did that with the following command

Net Start "Service_Name"

It works fine in starting a service whose Startup Type is either “Automatic” or “Manual” and does not start a service whose Startup Type is “Disabled”

I tried the following command 

enable "SERVICE_NAME" SERVICE_AUTO_START

But this command is not supported by Windows Server 2003.
Can you guys help me as which command to be used to enable a service in Windows Server 2003?

Thanks in advance.

    I can’t confirm this works for Server 2003 but it works for Win7, so worth a shot.

    sc config "Service_Name" start= auto
net start "Service_Name"
