pserv.cpl

[Tramp]

pserv.cpl is a Windows NT/2000 Control Panel Applet that

Allows you to control all NT services
Allows you to control all NT devices
Allows you to connect to remote machines
Has many features your Windows 2000 MMC doesn't offer you
IT IS FAST.
I wrote it partly because of being annoyed with that dreaded piece of
badly designed crap called Windows 2000 MMC.

I've used it. It's easy to use, and fast over LAN.
Over dial-up, however, it's extremely slow, as it has to download all the
services and their statuses. Also, the program has to be run as a valid
user/password on the remote machine, and the program doesn't handle
Win2k/XP's Run As option very well, or at least the last time I used it.

If you're on a dial-up and know the service name you're working with, I
recommend PSService.exe, included in PSTools from www.sysinternals.com,
although it's certainly not as user-friendly.
