Is this possible to do?

Can you start and stop services from a CLI on another computer? Whats the syntax? ie

C:\> NET START (Server name) “Print Spooler”? Any ideas?

no, it's for helping people who can't find the answers to their questions with a simple google search, or for general discussion about a topic

those that ask questions that can be answered with a simple google search will be made to feel as dumb as humanly possible

^^i'd normally just RDC into the machine and manually do what i need to, but i want to create a batch file that users can use that will stop the print spooler on a server, delete the hung document(s) in the spool folder, and then restart the print spooler without me having to do anything...a simple google search (and an even simpler NET HELP START) indicated that this could not be done using net commands from a CLI, so therefore i asked tww

^thank you

in the future use MMC, it's MUCH quicker than logging in etc


and while we're on the topic of remote management, is there any built-in way to administer scheduled tasks remotely (with a GUI, like MMC)? I'm guessing I have to download this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb756979.aspx
