Fatal Error: The WSUS synchronization service (WsusService) cannot be stopped.

Just tried moving our WSUS content folder and got error message "Fatal Error: The WSUS synchronization service (WsusService) cannot be stopped."

I used the following syntax:

wsusutil.exe movecontent "Path of the new content" "Path of the logfile"

as seen here http://community.spiceworks.com/how_to/show/1679-wsus-moving-database-and-content-directory#comments

It's not listed. I can't find either "WSUS synchronization service" or "WsusService"
