SUMMARY
This article describes how to use NETSVC.EXE to control and display Windows NT services on a local or a remote computer.

You may also use NETSVC.EXE to view current driver status.



MORE INFORMATION
NETSVC.EXE is a command line utility which allows you to administer and query services on a Windows NT workstation or server.

In order to use this utility, you must first have adequate permissions on the target computer. In most cases, Local Administrator equivalencies are required.

SYNTAX: NETSVC servicename \\computername /command

Available command options:

  /query      Queries the status of the service /start     Starts the service /stop      Stops the service /pause     Pauses the service /continue  Starts the paused service /list      Lists installed services and drivers

Additionally, the /list option can be followed by the > command and a filename to write the output to file. For example:

NETSVC \\ABRAMELIN /LIST > SERVICES.TXT

NETSVC is available on the Windows NT Resource Kit CD-ROM under the \platform (x86, alpha, ppc, mips) \netadmin subdirectory, or on the SMS 1.1 CD-ROM, under the \PSSTOOLS\X86.BIN for x86 computers.
