It’s funny I made a similar little software in Visual C# because it was time consuming to manually shutdown/reboot/kill process on our farm computers. Even in the interface it looks similar. I like the way you set the services dropdown list, nice work!

Thanks!

-have to use same login and pass, right?
Currently its just set up to use 1 set of credentials yes, you could just input a login and it will ask you to type in the passwords when the dos command comes up. I can’t say as its come up, We tend to create dummy accounts for the services/farm machines, so they’re all using the same credentials.

I haven’t had much of a chance to test it on Vista, Most of the problems that people have come up with have been either Authentication issues, or Firewall type issues, you may be able to see if its an authentication or permissions problem by checking the Event log on the server that its failing on (Can be accessed from compmgmt.msc from the Run command)

-have to use same login and pass, right?
-one of my vista servers doen’t respond to service stop/restart. All of the vista servers are running Vista Bussines 64. any clue on what might be wrong with it?
