Java 6 Update 14

Good idea, and you don't even need a script; you can set it to Manual startup in Group Policy under Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > System Services.

 

Forgotten all about this until today when everything locked up everyone else found.

 

 

Couple of things to add that will probably prove invaluable to make this all work.

 

You can't incorporate this GPO setting in the same GPO or a later GPO as the installation is attempted BEFORE the deployment begins so it never happens.

 

Much better to put a GPO with this setting at a higher priority in the GPO chain so it changes the service to manual or disabled so that the service isn't running once the deployment part runs.
