[gptalk] Re: change a service through group policy

Create a scheduled task that runs a simple batch file:

 

Net stop "service"

Net start "service"

 

The batch file could be in central location or you could use the GP
Preferences file copy feature to get it to every machine ahead of time.

 

You could also just use two sc.exe commands in two scheduled tasks to do the
same thing without having to deal with a batch file.

How would I be able to do that?

It will be tough to do this using "normal" policy without a reboot or some
kind of triggering action. However, if you are in a position to deploy the
Group Policy Preferences product, then you could use that product's ability
to create Scheduled Tasks via GP to push a scheduled task to machines that
does the restart for you.

Hello,

I would like to know if you can restart a service using group policy.  Now
the computer never gets rebooted and I have no access to the local drive as
well.  How would I be able to accomplish this?  If there is a better way,
please let me know.

Thanks,

Dave
