I'm using WSH and VBScripts.
Is there a way of
testing if a specific NT Service is running and,
depending on the outcome of the test,
stop or start the service using WSH scripting?

Kjell

can you be a little more specific?  a search at your site for server.status or for server status gave no hits...

I thought I was....

Set Service = ("WinNT://Your_computer/Your_service")
If Service.Status = 1 then
    msgbox "service is stopped"
End If

You need ADSI first

I was just curious...  I'm working on a standalone Win98 box at home but NT4 (with ADSI v.something) at work.

Got this to work on my NT box, but it's sloooooooow (15-25 seconds just to get the status)...

Is this typical for ADSI?

Box is P166 w/64MB memory.
