Switch off DEP from command line in Win 2003

Question

How can I switch off DEP from command line in Win 2003?

Or at least for Win XP.

A lot of forums explain how switch it off by editing boot.ini, but I need command line solution.

Alex: this is way off topic and it might occur to you that since (a) everybody mentions boot.ini (b) this is a _core kernel_ facility you might simply need to do what you're finding? — sehe, Oct 05 '11 at 12:26

On Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 you might want to use BOOTCFG to disable DEP, see /noexecute on MSDN.

bootcfg /raw "/noexecute=alwaysoff"

It asks for ID parameter. And I need to pass ID of current running system. It will be sad to switch off DEP for neighbour system and not to switch off for current. – Alex Blokha Oct 05 '11 at 12:47
maybe you know how to figure out id? – Alex Blokha Oct 05 '11 at 13:26
Identifiers are 1, 2 etc, the whole configuration can be queried via `bootcfg /query`, but I don't think you can do everything in batch file (if you need it), as the data is formatted for interactive user. – Roman R. Oct 05 '11 at 13:42

Can you explain what this does? That way it's easier for the OP to understand what you're suggesting. – Juan Carlos Farah Apr 15 '15 at 14:17

It's not commandline, but perhaps you can use

Win + Break, *A*dvanced, *P*erformance Options, Data Execution Prevention tab

where you can even manage DEP settings per application
