thanks for the comments. Yes it is a cluster. <br />
oBdA &gt;&nbsp;If I put the command in the script will it also bring down the dependancies?

It will take down all resources that are dependent on the service (but not resources that the service depends on).<br />
If you have other resources that are dependent on this service, and you want to bring them all online after stopping the service, simply bring the whole group online:<br />
cluster /cluster:&lt;Clustername&gt; group &quot;&lt;Some Resource group Name&gt;&quot; /online<br />

Hi Experts,<br />
<br />
Please can you assist in the scenario below?<br />
<br />
We have a windows 2003 clustered server (2 nodes)<br />
<br />
The cluster has a resource setup as a generic service.<br />
<br />
We require the service to be restarted on a daily schedule.. can you advise the best way? With it being a clustered resource, does it make more difficult.<br />
<br />
A scheduled task with a srcipt would be ideal.<br />
Thankyou,<br />
<br />

Restart a Generic Service in Windows 2003 Server

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).

Windows Server 2003

Batch files are text files containing a script of commands that are executed by the command interpreter on DOS, OS/2 and Windows systems. Most commonly, they are used to perform a series of functions that are repeated -- copying a set of files created daily with one step, for example.

Windows Batch

VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an interpreted scripting language developed by Microsoft that is modeled on Visual Basic, but with some important differences. VBScript is commonly used for automating administrative and other tasks in Windows operating systems (by means of the Windows Script Host) and for server-side scripting in ASP web applications. It is also used for client-side scripting in Internet Explorer, specifically in intranet web applications.
