How can I change a service properties through either command line or through scripting (java or sql )?
I basically wants to change the services –> properties –> Log On as (from Local system account to “This Account”).

Thanks for the help.

My fault. Typo. This DID work: NET START “My Server Name Server”

But how to figure out the “Service Name”. The Service properties says Service name: My Service Name Server (a 4 word name). I've tried NET START My Service Name Server and NET START “My Service Name Server”, but it keeps telling me that the name is invalid.; I then tried the executable name NET START MySvc and NET START MySvc.exe These also failed.

Different point of view from that post. Interesting to say the least.

Hi,
How to check the status of the complete services available and also command for an individual service.

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.

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 ,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.
