Stopping service via WMI

[bmquiroz]

I am using the following code to stop Exchange services. What I would like to do is have the script stop the service, wait until it's completely stopped, then go to the next service and so forth. Can someone help?

Thanks!

sComputer = "."
serviceName = "Microsoft Exchange Management"
Set oWMI = GetObject("WinMgmts:{impersonationLevel=Impersonate}!//" & sComputer & "/root/cimv2")
Set colServices = oWMI.execQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_Service Where displayname = '" & serviceName & "'")
For Each oService In colServices
errReturn = oService.StopService()
WScript.Echo "Stopping " & serviceName & " service.."
Next

sComputer = "."
serviceName = "Microsoft Exchange Routing Engine"
Set oWMI = GetObject("WinMgmts:{impersonationLevel=Impersonate}!//" & sComputer & "/root/cimv2")
Set colServices = oWMI.execQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_Service Where displayname = '" & serviceName & "'")
For Each oService In colServices
errReturn = oService.StopService()
WScript.Echo "Stopping " & serviceName & " service.."
Next

Hello SIPIN,

Are you saying that it is working like one oService has not fully stopped before the second oService starts stopping?

Yes, anyway to have one completely stop before starting the next?

Thanks!

SAPIN,

Stopped or not, the wmi service has done its due. It is not a matter of "waiting", it is a matter of success/failure. Echo out the errReturn. It show you the reason why. If it is not equal to zero, it fails one reason or another. Check the documentation for interpretation.

That's what I figured, just wanted to see if there was a way to tail the process until it finishes. Alternately, I guess I could run "net stop" under a shell but I wanted to see if there was a way using WMI. I'll keep searching.

Thanks!

It does as far as .stopservice is concerned.

you could use pskill and that will terminate any process, in use or not.
