Controlling Windows Services over the Internet?

I was thinking about a piece of software and wondering if it exists ... a quick scout on google points out that it doesn't.

This is where our problem is, we have many global services that operate in different international locations. We need to globally control these services, like a global bounce (which happens every weekend). This involves logging into each mailbox remotely and restarting, then waiting for the services to start. Age is also required.

I thought there must be some software product that allows you to log in through web services and manage services from all locations through one website. What else could you schedule a reboot (so there was no need for user intervention).

Now I could write this .... but someone must have written this already ... or is it part of some additional add-ons?

Any ideas?

Cheers Rich

You can use Powershell script and WMI to start / stop services ...

Can't you use the sc command ? It allows you to manage remote services and is already built into the operating system, for example:

sc \\servername stop "servicename"
sc \\servername start "servicename"

      



Another option is Mark Russinovich's PSService tool .
