I have a few PC's in my enterprise where the status of the <messener> service
reads as "stopping" and I cannot start or stop it regardless of the startup
type that I apply (in other words, I can manipulate whether not the type is
Automatic, Manual, or Disabled, but I cannot stop or start the process). In
my research, I discovered that this service is part of a larger <svchost.exe>
process (the full path is "c:\windows\system32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs"). I
have just been playing around with both Process Explorer and the <taskkill>
command line in an attempt to kill the messenger service ONLY, but as of yet
I have not found a way to do this. Does anyone know how to accomplish this?
