Services
Interact with Windows services using the sc command with administrative privileges.
Tip
Use any of the commands below on a remote system through an administrative SMB session by prepending \\[targetIP] right after sc.
Example: sc \\[targetIP] query
List all running services:
sc query
sc query | find /i "service_name"
List all services:
sc query state= all
sc query state= all | find /i "service_name"
Show service detail:
sc qc [service_name]
Start and stop a service:
sc start [service_name]
sc stop [service_name]
If the service has a start_type of disabled in the output of sc qc [service_name], you cannot start it until you first change it to a start type of demand.
sc config [service_name] start= demand
