Entering maintenance mode through Enterprise Manager?

Is there a way of entering maintenance mode ("-m") through Enterprise
Manager (2000), rather than running sqlservr.exe directly?
Thanks!You can add it as a start up parameter (right-click your server, startup par
ameters), these are
stored in the registry. But as this is a one-time, it is easier to use Windo
ws Services applet, and
add the parameter there.
