Need to stop/start win2k services remotely

I need to stop and start services remotely from one server to another. I can not find out how to do it. Can someone help me? I would prefer not having to buy any software.

thanks,

Welcome to TechSpot

You can use the standard Computer Management which is included in W2K-Pro and W2K-Server.
Right-click My Computer on the Desktop, choose Manage
or
Start/Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Computer Management
or
type compmgmt.msc at a command prompt.

In the console Tree, right-click Computer Management (Local) and choose "Connect to Another Computer"

Provided you have Admin-rights on that computer, you can start messing around on the other PC


I have to admit that I have this knowledge from an excellent book:
Microsoft Windows 2000: Professional Expert Companion,
written by Craig Stinson and Carl Siechert
Published by Microsoft Press $39.99
ISBN 0-7356-0855-5

You can also look up the net start and net stop commands. Some services are not permitted to be controlled by this remotely, fyi..
