Is it possible to use task scheduler to restart a windows
service on a daily basis?

yes, you can creat a batch file to run the rundll32.exe calling exitwindows

It's not a Microsoft standard service. It's for a service
that controls printing spools for another application that
I support. Just wondering is there a standard way of
doing this.

thanks for the suggestion but I can't exit windows as it's
a server that has other applications running on it. Just
wondering is there a standard way of doing this.

A batch file with the appropriate net commands should do it. For example
a batch file to stop and restart your IIS services might be:

::stop the services
net stop w3svc
net stop smtpsvc
net stop MSFtpsvc
net stop iisadmin
::start them back
net start w3svc
net start smtpsvc
net start MSFtpsvc

So you would put your stop/start commands in a batch file and then
schedule the batch file. If your service has any other services dependent
on it, you'll want to stop those first.

I surely think the windows server can do this in a standard way.
