Stop Sophos services on Windows

Hi There, 

Are you referring to our command-line switches? If so? You may refer to this documentation. Let us know if this answers your query. 

Hi GlennSen,

Thanks for your comments, but in fact I am referring to Windows endpoints using Sophos Intercept X, that reports to Sophos Central.

Hi, 

You can toggle to Sophos services by using SC Stop <Servicename> command. However, you need to ensure to turn off tamper protection first on your system. You can use manual turn off through Sophos central or by accessing SEDCLI.EXE "C:\Program Files\Sophos\Endpoint Defense\Sedcli.Exe -overridetpoff <passcode>". 

Hi GlennSen,

I really appreciate your quick answer, but as I new on Sophos it is not enough clear for me, is there some documentation about it?, if not, where can I find SC Stop command?, I should run it on Windows?.

Yes SC is an MS command which utilizes SC.exe and can be run through CLI. You may refer to this MS documentation for more details. We only use ms commands to stop our services aside from doing it manually through services.msc.
