One would think that in SMO you would have an autogrow flag that could be turned on and off like there is in the GUI. Well this is not the case. So if you take my script from http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/dba/powershell-script-to-change-data-and-log-files-that-are-growing-by-percent/
and make a little bit of a change then the autogrow will be turned off.
Just set the Growth to 0 and most important is to change the growthtype to none:
$file.growth = 0
$file.growthtype = “none”
$file.alter()
That is it and then when you look in the GUI autogrow will be off.
