Script to restart stopped Service 1

[oyazo]

Hello Friends,

One of my Microsoft Exchnage 2007 services normally stop without any issue.

Can somebody give a script that can restart this service whenever it stops.

Thank you very much.

I found the following in one forum,

'Start Service
strServiceName = "Alerter"
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\.\root\cimv2")
Set colListOfServices = objWMIService.ExecQuery ("Select * from Win32_Service Where Name ='" & strServiceName & "'")
For Each objService in colListOfServices
objService.StartService()
Next


'Stop Service
strServiceName = "Alerter"
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\.\root\cimv2")
Set colListOfServices = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_Service Where Name ='" & strServiceName & "'")
For Each objService in colListOfServices
objService.StopService()
Next

Thank you Ladin for the script.

The script

"'Start Service
strServiceName = "Alerter"
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\.\root\cimv2")
Set colListOfServices = objWMIService.ExecQuery ("Select * from Win32_Service Where Name ='" & strServiceName & "'")
For Each objService in colListOfServices
objService.StartService()
Next"

did not start the service when the service stopped probably due to my inability to apply it well.

This is HOW I applied it: I copy the "Start Service" part of it and saved as vbs on cdrive on the local system,

I went to services, Right click on the service (alerter), select properties, recovery, first failure, run a program, browse to the program on the local cdrive, apply,ok.

I discover that the service has stopped the following day.

I expected that the script will start the service immediatelly it stops.

Kindly advice probably, I did not apply it well.Note that I only use 'Start Service and not 'stop service.

Thank you so much.

oyazo,

why not use the "restart the service" option you can select via the first failure box?

I have used it several times but it doesnt work.

But if that doesn’t work there is a very big change the script won’t be able to start the service either!

Check the eventlog for errors; it should state the exchange service stopped and it should also state why it could not restart the service. It should be an information type in the system section.
