Script to restart print spooler

Akumos · Jan 7, 2011, 12:45 PM

Hi

I'm trying to get a script to restart the print spooler on a server from a slient so I don't have to remote in and restart it manually each time. Is this possible?

I have the restart code, just need to point it to a server.

Code:

@echo off
net stop spooler
net start spooler
exit

Any ideas?

Thanks

sc \\computer stop "service name"
sc \\computer start "service name"

sc.exe is in the system32 and/or SysWOW64 folders.
