I'm trying to get into VB scripting and would like to create a tool that will remotly query a service and then attempt to restart that service if it is not running. (this is in an XP SP2 ,moving to SP3 and W2k3 server environment)<br />
<br />
How would I run a Dos command from Vb and pull the error code back to VB<br />
<br />
EG<br />
SC \\%servername% query %servicename%|findstr /i &quot;running&quot;<br />
<br />
Or is there a better way to do this with purely VB?<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance

Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET) is an object-oriented programming language implemented on the .NET framework, but also supported on other platforms such as Mono and Silverlight. Microsoft launched VB.NET as the successor to the Visual Basic language. Though it is similar in syntax to  Visual Basic pre-2002, it is not the same technology,
