SBS (and WHS?) if not dcpromo'd will, after seven days, shut down every hour. 
The process sbscrexe.exe is created by the SBCore service.  If terminated it
will immediately restart and it cannot be stopped.  The service SBCore cannot
be set to "disabled".
</p>
        <p>
There are two (three?) ways to work around this.  All will likely violate the
MS EULA.
</p>
        <p>
• Use <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/ProcessesAndThreads/ProcessExplorer.mspx">Process
Explorer</a> to 'suspend' sbscrexe.exe<br />
• Give Administrators permissions to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SBCore
(and child nodes) and change the 'Start' DWORD from 2 to 4<br />
• Deny the Everyone group all access to C:\WINDOWS\system32\sbscrexe.exe<br />
• In Process Explorer kill sbscrexe.exe - it shouldn't restart<br />
• services.msc should now show SBS Core Services as disabled
</p>
        <p>
• An alternative approach is to disable the 'SBS Core Services' service in a particular
hardware profile (ie can't do a outright disable) assuming there is only one hardware
profile.
</p>
        <p>
• Finally, repeated kills of the sbscrexe.exe process might completely kill it for
a single session.
</p>
        <p>
Edit - having an ntbackup process running in the background seems to stop sbcore from
shutting down.<br />
