netsvc to stop service

[tnayfeh]

I have a command to stop a service on a remote machine.
I'm using netsvc below within a batch file.

netsvc "SERVICE NAME " \\tdsi-srv1 /stop

I get the following message "Service is pending stop on \\tdsi-srv1". Is there a way to stop this service immediately and not have it pending to stop. Same thing happens when I use the /start.

Thanks in advance,
TN

If you use the netsvc "SERVICE NAME " \\tdsi-srv1 /query, immediately after, you will notice that the service is indeed running. It is something to do with the netsvc command. I use this currently for one of our applications, and it doesn't give you the "full" explanation, even on a query. There are other options for you, such as:

strComputer = InputBox ("What server do you want to look at?")
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
    & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

Set colRunningServices = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_Service")

For Each objService in colRunningServices 
    Wscript.Echo objService.DisplayName  & VbTab & objService.State
Next

This will tell you all the services that are on the machine, and whether they are in a started/stopped status. You can actually modify the above to have only the services that you are interested in as well.
