Re: How to remote start/stop services using windows API?

Thanks Kellie.
Before we call OpenSCManager, we must obtain an remote user
handle/credential. Otherwise OpenSCManager will fail with error: "access
deny...".
WNetAddConnetion2 could be used to get the remote user credential, but it
will fail in some cases. So I am searching another way to do it. Thanks.

But WNetAddConnection2 will fail if there are a existing remote mapped drive
to the remote manchine. It seems WNetAddConnection2 has other limitations.

Any comments are appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi,

You can use the following APIs to start a service process remotely:

OpenSCManager()

GetServiceKeyName()

OpenService()

QueryServiceStatusEx()

ControlServiceEx()

StartService()

CloseServiceHandle()
