NOTE: I do not recommend this for several reasons: violation of the usage agreement and that you will have various issues with WHS (remote access user issues, server shutting down, etc).  I only present here as the method of doing is interesting and to discourage you from doing so:
  1. Open Process Explorer (Sysinternals) and select and suspend the sbscrexe.exe process.
  2. Run RegEdit32.exe and expand the nodes until you reach the following hive / key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SBCore
  3. Right click this, hit permissions and give the “Administrators” group on the local machine full access ( don’t forget to replace permissions on child nodes ). F5 in regedit and you’ll see all of the values and data under this key.
  4. Select the “Start” DWORD and change it from 2 to 4 – this basically sets the service to the “Disabled” state as far as the MMC services snap-in (and windows for that matter) is concerned.
  5. Next, adjust the permissions on the file C:\WINDOWS\system32\sbscrexe.exe so that EVERYONE account is denied any sort of access to this file.
  6. Then go back to process explorer, and kill the sbscrexe.exe process, if it doesn’t restart – congratulations!
  7. Load up the services MMC snap-in and you should find that “SBS Core Services” is stopped and marked as Disabled.
