Tony, I found someone showing how to check service status with Powershell
http://digitalformula.net/scripts/powershell-checking-windows-services-statu s/ I also found someone who shows how to restart services with Powershell. http://chrisfederico.wordpress.com/2008/01/23/using-powershell-to-restart-se rvices/ Maybe take a look at the two and combine them to get the results/script you are looking for. Good luck! --Jason Kehoe From: info-tech-ow...@aea8.k12.ia.us [mailto:info-tech-ow...@aea8.k12.ia.us] On Behalf Of Richardson,Tony Sent: Monday, January 26, 2009 9:05 AM To: info-tech@aea8.k12.ia.us Subject: RE: [info-tech] Powershell script Yes that works but I was thinking more along the lines of doing this checking in mass and developing the script to further check for the existence of the application then installing and starting it if its not there. Yes I know AD can push stuff out too but this particular app doesn't allow for that.

Use the "Recovery" tab to set what to do on first failure, second failure, and subsequent failures. I set my critical service to restart services for first and second failure and server reboot on the third.

I can't seem to find a good example on the web. Thanks, Tony Richardson Technology Coordinator Humboldt Community School District trichard...@humboldt.k12.ia.us
