Stopping and Starting services remotely

Hi,

I need to be able to start and stop a particular service on one of our W2k3
servers from another workstation - ideally from a batch file so your average
joe user can do it when instructed. After a bit of a search on the internet
it would seem that there was a utility called Netsvc.exe in the NT4
Resource Kit Supplement 1 that would allow you to do just this but I've
scavanged the MS site and can no longer find this supplement. I did get the
original NT4 RK but the required file is indeed not in there.

Can anyone help with alternative methods or is there a newer utility that
I'm unaware of?

Thanks,

Simon

Here is aan example VBscript:

strComputer = "." should be replaced by strComputer = "Remote Computer
Name"

Starts the NetDDE service and all its dependent services.

strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colServiceList = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * from Win32_Service where Name='NetDDE'")
For each objService in colServiceList
errReturn = objService.StartService()
Next
Wscript.Sleep 20000
Set colServiceList = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Associators of " _
& "{Win32_Service.Name='NetDDE'} Where " _
& "AssocClass=Win32_DependentService " & "Role=Dependent" )
For each objService in colServiceList
objService.StartService()
Next
