I would like to know how to disable and enable Microsoft Security Essentials from the command line.
This is a common procedure on build machines in order to speed-up the build process.

To disable from the (elevated) command line:
net stop MsMpSvc
To start from the (elevated) command line:
net start MsMpSvc
However, you may get similar results by simply going in to the configuration and disable scanning on your solutions/build folder

I'm getting "System error 5 has occurred. Access is denied." (I ran command prompt as admin). – BornToCode Feb 08 '16 at 20:06

Hi @BornToCode - if you are running as an admin, and, your machine doesn't have multi admin levels/domain with further restrictions, this should work... I have a busy day, but, my contact details are in my profile - feel free to send me an email and I can take a quick look for you later to see if anything weird is going on/see if there is something I can do quick. – William Hilsum Feb 10 '16 at 09:44
