    Hi,

     

    -- Did you check in Task Manager that the relevant service process starts/stops?

    -- Does the account that executes the start/stop code have anough privileges (as mentioned in the referenced article)?

    -- Can you post here your actual code?

    -- Any related messages in the Windows Event Viewer logs?

      I need to stop/start the service using javascript , I found this in testcomplete but it is using jscript. When I ran this I got an invalid parameter error. Can you help me convert this to javascript? I tried the suggestion in the thread as well to convert it somehow to javascript but got the not authorized error

       

      function fn_GetService(computerName, serviceName)

      {

      var wmiService, objectsList, eObjectsList, item, sysID;

      wmiService = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\\\" +

      computerName + "\\root\\cimv2");

      objectsList = wmiService.InstancesOf("Win32_Service")

       

      if (objectsList.Count > 0) {

      eObjectsList = new Enumerator(objectsList);

      for (; !eObjectsList.atEnd(); eObjectsList.moveNext()) {

      item = eObjectsList.item();

      if (item.Name == serviceName)

      return item;

      }

      }

      return null;

      }

       

      I appreciate your help. Thanks

        Actually, starting/stopping a windows service is simply a command line of "net start <servicename>" or "net stop <servicename>".  This can be done using the WshShell.Run method (https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/reference/program-objects/wshshell/index.html).

         

        The way I would do it is simply something like this.  FYI, this should work both for JScript as well as JavaScript&colon;

         

        function startService(serviceName){
    WshShell.Run('net start ' + serviceName, 1, true);
}

function stopService(serviceName){
    WshShell.Run('net stop ' + serviceName, 1, true);
}.
