Hi there,

I would like to start certain services in a Windows 2000 machine from my
workstation (W2K). Can I do that without third party program?

Thanks

Keith
 
Yes u can do this with nearly no effort.
you have to set-up a new microsoft management console

open the run window and type "mmc" and press enter
then u will see a new and empty management console
open the files menu and select "add/remove new snap-in",
select add from the bottom of the window and select
a new services snap-in. emadiately ull be asked whether
u want to control local services or from a remote machine.
type the name or ip of the remote machine u wnat to control
in and click finish. apply changes and close all windows
until u are on the management console...
Save ur console so that u can reuse it whenever u need it...

Thats it...

Hello

One alternate method is, to telnet to the remote machine
and use the command net start ....

Yes, telnet, this is also a good idea...
but you dont have the comfort of a user interface, but on the other hand not
the
overhead of the mmc...its up to you....but i think telnet is much faster due
its raw
communication....

If you have the support tools installed from the install cdrom you can use the sc
command as in [ sc \\myserver start lanmanserver ]. Note that you have to use the
service name instead of the display name which for lanmanserver is "server".
Services.msc will show the service name of a service one you open it's properties. Sc
can do a lot more than start and stop services. Another great way to run remote
commands on a computer as long as you file and print sharing and administrator access
is to use the free psexec tool form SysInternals. It allows you to bring up the
command screen from a remote computer. If you install psexec many spyware programs
may detect it as a trojan so be careful not to remove it if doing such. --- Steve

Hi all, thanks for all the input.

Is there anyway I can do this type of remote service control without
enabling file and print sharing?

Thanks
