If you don't mind setting it global wide, you can use the  
retained_(host|service)_attribute_mask: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/configmain.html

This was added by Ethan a few years back, inspired by some code we  
contributed from Opsview for our slave cluster failover logic, where  
we reset certain flags in the retained.dat file on a reload. This  
means you can strip the "active_checks_enabled" to always be based on  
the configuration file setting.
