Disable Eset Smart Security using metasploit

Im trying to disable Eset Smart Security 7, in order to do this I have to shutdown his service ekrn.exe so I started with this:

sc queryex ekrn

SERVICE_NAME: ekrn
TYPE : 110 WIN32_OWN_PROCESS (interactive)
STATE : 4 RUNNING
(NOT_STOPPABLE, NOT_PAUSABLE, ACCEPTS_SHUTDOWN)
WIN32_EXIT_CODE : 0 (0x0)
SERVICE_EXIT_CODE : 0 (0x0)
CHECKPOINT : 0x0
WAIT_HINT : 0x0
PID : 1696
FLAGS :


Because it is a non-stoppable and non-pausable but accepts shutdown I attempted to disable it from startup so next time I reboot it will not start so I did this:

sc config ekrn start= disabled

[SC] ChangeServiceConfig ERROR 5:
Acces Denied


Im doing this as NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM so I dont know why this error pops up. Any help would be apreciated.

Im doing all this from a remote shell using metasploit in a virtual windows 7
