I need to create a common script to restart service:



net stop <service>
net start <service>


Problem is that I don't know the name of the service.
For example for "printer spooler" is the name "spooler".



How can I find the name for any service?

          You can view a list of your Windows Services by following these steps:




          1. Right-click on the "Computer" icon (it's usually on your Windows Desktop or in the Start Menu)

          2. Select "Manage" (this requires Administrative access)

          3. Double-Click on "Services and Applications" (to expand it)

          4. Click on "Services"


          The list on the right-hand side under the "Services" column shows all your services, sorted alphabetically by default.



          enter image description here



          Note: In addition to using the "Net" command, for manual control you can also use the GUI to Start/Stop many of the Windows Services that are available.

          Run services.msc to get a list of all the services.



          Click properties on the service you want, there you can see the "service name" and the "display name".



          The service name is what you need to use with the net command.

            This handy guide from Black Viper lists down the name of the services which can be used with the "net start/stop" commands. He has lists for services included in Windows XP, Vista, Server 2008, and 7. For example, here's the list for Windows 7 SP1 (you may need to scroll a bit down for the actual table).

                      This handy guide from Black Viper lists down the name of the services which can be used with the "net start/stop" commands. He has lists for services included in Windows XP, Vista, Server 2008, and 7. For example, here's the list for Windows 7 SP1 (you may need to scroll a bit down for the actual table).
