Start-StoppedAutomaticService

NAME Start-StoppedAutomaticService



SYNOPSIS

This script starts any stopped Automatic services with exclusions.





SYNTAX

Start-StoppedAutomaticService [[-ComputerName] <String[]>] [-FilterCleanExit] [<CommonParameters>]





DESCRIPTION

The script defaults to check the localhost for any stopped Automatic services and

starts them. It can also run against a single remote computer or a list of remote

computers. The script will first check to see if ws-man remoting is enabled, and

if it isn't it will fall back to using the sc.exe utility to start the services.

The script assumes you have administrative rights on the remote computer.



The $FilterCleanExit switch is for excluding any services that have an exit

code of zero which typically means services that have nothing to do or were

stopped gracefully.
