This simple little powershell script allows to interactively start or stop a servies plus change its startup type if desired on a local or remote computer. You can also expanded apon this to run on a list of computers. It is very straight forward to run and documented line by line.

nice, thanks for that

I created a powershell script to create discovery mailboxes in Exchange, it has an error check that you might like for your code.

do {
$SRV= Read-Host “Enter Name of Service”
$SRVIsValid = [bool](Get-Service -Name $SRV -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue)
if ($SRVIsValid =eq “”) { Write-Host “Service does not exist - Please try again” }
}
while ($SRVIsValid -eq “”)

I’m sure there is a better way of doing it but this will throw an error if the service is not valid and ask the user of the script to try again :slight_smile:

nice tip

could probably expand it to “or press L” to list all avaliable services.

I’m a sucker for time saving powershell :slight_smile: one of these days I’ll get around to publishing some of my exchange powershell scripts
