Thanks for the post.
I have few questions, and eagerly urge you all for response .
1.But how to RESTART the Services ,because its not possible to learn about the service whether its in STOP mode or not using NET START /NET STOP.
2. Whenever I issue NET STOP <ServiceName> ,it prompts for yes/no for all the services. How can I say yes to all the dependent services..as i will not have provision if i execute a batch file in scheduled tasks.

Thanks in Advance.
Vampire.

net stop servicename /y will suppress prompts. You can also check the return code of the net stop and net start commands. If the command fails, because it is already started or stopped, you get a return code.
