restarting a service within LAN through an other computer

[Victor]

Hello network experts,

I have a simple question. I am on one of the desktops
running windows 2000 professional computer. I have full
administrative previleges on the windows domain controller
running Windows NT server. How can i restart a spooling
service on this domain controller remotely via my windows
2000 prof. computer? I can ping to the domain controller &
all that. But don't know how to start/stop/restart any
windows services remotely (inside the LAN). Please help...

Thanks

What you need is "psservice.exe". It is part of the freeware PsTools
package from sysinternals:
