there should be a way in terms of changing in registry, however just entering passwor din the script may not ehlp ( my understanding) since its interface where you type in password, the script may not fulfil.

Me too curious to know

I am not so good with scripts

but create script and to add a password to stop smc add this line to the script

"%programfiles%\symantec\symantec endpoint protection\smc.exe" –stop – p ********  ( where ******* is your password)

Hi Prachand

smc.exe  –stop – p ********
Not working as it still asking for password

yes, there are no arguments associated with smc

I created a batch file like this

Password I kept as passw0rd for stopping the smc service.
@echo off
cd c:\Program Files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection
smc -stop -p passw0rd
echo "smc service stopped"
pause
exit

It worked for me.....

kudos!
it worked.
