Stop Windows service on another server.

[greichert]

I am trying to stop a windows service on a separate server than where my script is running. When I run the following script on the same server as the service I need to stop, it works fine. 

RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c net stop FascetAgentfv2", @ScriptDir, @SW_HIDE);stop agent

But when I change "@ScriptDir" to ""\\newserver\c$\Program Files\test\" and run it on my server nothing happens. I tried to error handle and all it was returning was "2". Any suggestions?

First off, the help file is your friend - read up on the second parameter for RunWait - it is not to specify the server you want to target.

Secondly, net stop is not what you would use for remote service management, SC is the correct command. This works just fine for me:

ShellExecute("SC.exe", '\\MyServer Start AdobeARMservice', "", "", @SW_HIDE)

Sleep(5000)

ShellExecute("SC.exe", '\\MyServer Stop AdobeARMservice', "", "", @SW_HIDE)
