Flags

I use -oneunit on my remote running services. It works fine, stops the service and does not restart. Of course, modifying regedit is a pain, which is why I run all my local machines manually.

Depending on which type of service installation, the -oneunit flag will not work for some, and will work for others. We don't recommend it for any service installation. The idea of a service to keep the client running, which is counter to the idea of -oneunit.

If you want to shut down the client, stop the service, and run the client in a console window with the -oneunit switch. The overall results will be better.

If you are using the -oneunit switch for other purposes, you're on your own.

You might try the -pause flag.
This has worked for me in the past.

It is not recommended in all situations, though.
