Question

How do I use PowerShell to stop and start a ‘Generic Service’ as seen in the Microsoft ‘Cluster Administrator’ software?

Answer 1

You can also use WMI. You can get all the Generic Services with:

$services = Get-WmiObject -Computer 'Computer' -namespace 'root\mscluster' ` MSCluster_Resource | Where {$_.Type -eq 'Generic Service'} 

To stop and start a service:

$timeout = 15 $services[0].TakeOffline($timeout) $services[0].BringOnline($timeout)
