you may want to consider the ADSI way

Set COmputer = GetObject("WinNT://DOmainNAme/COmputerName,computer")
Set Service = Computer.GetObject("service","ServiceNameHere")
Wscript.Echo Service.Status
1, stopped
4, running

or
Set COmputer = GetObject("WinNT://DOmainNAme/COmputerName,computer")
Computer.Filter = Array("service")
For Each Service In Computer
Wscript.Echo Service.Name & " " & Service.Status
Next

hi mrmovie
what would the line
Set COmputer = what should be after the = the pc name or services name thanks for any help

 

[mrmovie]

it would be as the string suggests,,,the DomainName followed by the ComputerName

 

[mrmovie]

strDomainNAme = "DOMAIN_X"
strComputerName = "BRA6578C"
Set Computer = GetObject("WinNT://" strDomainName & "/" & strComputerName & ",computer")
