Using NETSVC

Questions:

1). Where can I get a copy of NETSVC?
2). Will it work on a Windows 2000 Pro machine?

I'd like to use it on a Win2K server in a backup job's pre/post commands to
stop a database service on a Win2K Pro machine.

Thanks,
Tom
 
It's in the Resource Kit, and the MS web site has much of that
available for download these days:

Google: [ netsvc site:microsoft.com 2003 | xp ]

With that search I did not (immediately) find a download
link but you might search it (more carefully) yourself if you
don't have the Win2000 Resource kit.

There are also some scripting links which perform several
of the tasks of NetSvc.

The version in the Win2000 resource kit still runs on
Win2003 Server and on XP.

Consider that the free PSTools from Sysinternals may
be easier to find and even more flexible:
