Hello,

I was having issues with a program running in 2008 so I tried a bcdedit
command that I found on the web but can't seem to find any more. When I go
to Data Execution Prevention under system properties, advanced perfromance
options - I can't check either option even though I'm logged in as
administrator. Anyone know the right command to enable it as it was?

Thanks

Hello boe,

Check out this command line:
bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOff turns off DEP

bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOn turns on DEP

Best regards

Re: DEP options greyed out in 2008 bcdedit

Hello boe,

If it does not help, and it didn't during my testing with server 2008, use
this one:

bcdedit.exe /set nx OptOut

Sorry for the other posting with the incorrect command, but this one enables
my DEP and i can choose again the settings.
