chasmant, let me start by saying that I am impressed by the GUI of your hta; very nice indeed.
Now,… there are a couple of issues that I want to share:
1. the hta has the list of services hard coded; you need to generate them by querying Win32_Service;
2. the code associated with the buttons is incomplete or incorrect;
3. suggestion: you can put the buttons on a div and the list on a div; this way when you scroll up or down you don’t loose the buttons and you don’t have to put buttons top and down.
4. finally, you are using WMI; See this article here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa389290(v=vs.85).aspx
I will supply you with a piece of code that does a basic operation using WMI on a remote computer; we will see if it works or if it returns an error. Please read the article prior to testing the script and make sure that you enabled DCOM and disabled the firewall on the remote machine.
Using your favorite text editor (i.e.: Notepad) create a new file; paste the code and save with vbs extension. Run from command line: cscript.exe file.vbs
Don’t forget to change the "." in strComputer with the name of the computer you are trying to connect to.

strComputer = "."
Set objSWbemServices = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colSWbemObjectSet = objSWbemServices.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_Service")
For Each objSWbemObject In colSWbemObjectSet
WScript.Echo "Display Name: " & objSWbemObject.DisplayName & vbCrLf & _
" State: " & objSWbemObject.State & vbCrLf & _
" Start Mode: " & objSWbemObject.StartMode & vbCrLf
Next
It is a nice little piece of code... But I have to ask... This functionality is already included in Windows...
Start>run>services.msc>Rt Click "Local", and select "Connect to another computer"
Why recreate the wheel? This method gets all services on the remote PC, in case there are some that are NOT included in your HTA script......

I get calls that the clock is off by an hour and I find I can not remote to pc and need to use ip for some reason thought that this would be easier
but I hadn't tried using connect to remote computer using IP instead moght work

If you cannot access a computer by name it could be a DNS issue; you should investigate.
chasmant, did you got the chance to test my script ? Is it working ? How do you want to proceed ?
chasmant, did you got the chance to test my script ? Is it working ? How do you want to proceed ?
chasmant, I assume that the clock being off by an hour is the problem you are trying to fix by connecting remotely. I suspect this is going to be a problem in itself, because if you cannot connect remotely, then WMI connections will most likely fail as well. You might be better off providing a tool that the users themselves can run instead, provided they even have network access to access the tool. But to further assist with that resolution, we need a better description of the actual problem you're trying to solve.
After that, perhaps we can make the HTA run against remote pcs.

Rob.

dneamtu: Not sure where I put that code can you maybe paste it in my script and then I can test it
It is very simple: open notepad and paste the code. Save the file with the extension .vbs. Open a command prompt and type cscript.exe file_name.vbs
You need to tell me if it returns something or if it gives an error.
P.S.: I hope that you read all the notes that I posted and realize that your code is incomplete and that will require more work that initially specified.

Your script worked with no errors
just not sure how to make this go to another pc

Modify strComputer with the name of your remote computer and then run the script. We do this test to see if we can use WMI on a remote machine. I will post a hta example to show you how to include this example.

tried it on remote pc and worked also
It looks to me like you want the same functionality as on your older post which you had a question on...

Great script rejoinder ! However I get this error message:
Line: 21 Error: Object doesn't support this property or method: 'View'
Line: 21 Error: Object doesn't support this property or method: 'View'
This is odd - the script wasn't changed that much to cause an error message like this. Are you running the script on the same machine as you did when you first asked the other question?
As a matter of point - I'm running Windows 7 as an administrator when running the script.
On a side note... happy new year Rob!

I am not the author; I am just another colleague trying to help out. I run the HTA on Windows XP SP3
Hey rejoinder! Happy New Year. I hope you're keeping well. To avoid too much confusion, I'll just watch this one. If you need any assistance, let me know.

Rob.

dneamtu,
Can you try the script on a machine that has MS Office installed?

On a computer with MS Office installed it works.
Ah - the HTA uses Visual Basic 6 controls that are bundled with Office and some other Windows applications.
Pardon my ignorance, but which code are you guys trying, and what's it got to do with MSOffice?
Rob.
Rob.
I did up a similar start/stop HTA file under - https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/24494363/HTA-with-VBScript-to-stop-start-windows-services.html
The HTA references a listview control to display the services with checkboxes beside the names of the services. The listview control is bundled with Office.

OK well, for this one, you can use this as a template. I've made it dynamically get the services from the computer name entered in the text box, it just needs the stop and restart code put in.

I was writing if from scratch Rob :)
I think rejoinder will finish it before I do; I not I will come back tomorrow with the full implementation if he doesn’t.
Notes for chasmant:
If the script will not work and will give you this message:
Error: Permission denied: 'GetObject'
Here are a few things that you can try (mostly if your computers are not part of a domain):
Local Security Policies
1. Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Local Security Policy
2. Navigate to Security\Local Policies\Security Options

I think rejoinder will finish it before I do; I not I will come back tomorrow with the full implementation if he doesn’t.
Notes for chasmant:
If the script will not work and will give you this message:
Error: Permission denied: 'GetObject'
Here are a few things that you can try (mostly if your computers are not part of a domain):
Local Security Policies
1. Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Local Security Policy
2. Navigate to Security\Local Policies\Security Options
a. Network Access: Let everyone permissions apply to anonymous users - Set to Enabled

dneamtu, we should also add a Ping test, and a WMI error check, so it continues gracefully. I have also recently written a WMI timeout checking procedure, which I will add on Monday. It would be nice to have this fully functional in my code library, so I'll finish it off as well next week. We'll see how different our approaches are.

Hi chasmant,
I had some spare time tonight, and managed to rebuild this HTA into a tool that will start, stop, and restart services on a remote or local computer. It will perform a Ping test for initial connectivity, then perform a WMI Connection test that I recently wrote, which has a custom user defined time out. You can set the maximum wait time out for WMI (in seconds) using the second parameter on this line:
strReturn = TestWMIConnection(txt_comp

Hmmm, did I get my Antecedent / Dependent roles mixed up? I haven't tested it much, but they always confuse me for some reason.
I like the use of the DIV with the absolute position...that's nice.

Rob,
As I understand, you are trying to create a template. Please check out the recursion for Service Start and Service Stop. It is very important to use recursivity because the dependency between services does not stop at the first element.
A few notes from msdn: If you stop, start, or restart a service, any dependent services are also affected. Starting a service does not automatically restart its dependent services.
RecursiveServiceStart [above]
Role=Dependent - checks that all the system components the service depends on are started.
RecursiveServiceStop [below]
Role=Antecedent - checks that all the system components that depend on this service are stopped (from top to bottom) before it stops the current service.

I didn’t want to arrange them alphabetically, thought it will be closer to what windows gives you :)
As for modifying the elements that change, I used that approach because otherwise I had to refresh the whole service list. This is time consuming and it puts an additional stress on the network. Querying WMI with associators can perform very poorly (I speak from experience); I don’t want to perform additional queries unless I need to.
One last note: I see that you pause the script at some point; this is maybe a good thing (although it is not mentioned in msdn). You should use setTimeout or setInterval for this and not ping.

Glad to be of service; I was expecting at least an assist.

Please note that if the example uses WMI it will be necessary to activate WMI on the remote machine(s).
