I have a website that does all kinds of maint. functions for our systems.
One of the things I'd like to do is be able to restart a service that's on
another computer. Can somebody point me in the right direction to do that?

I think there may be issues of user privileges.

TIA - Jeff.

The application will have to log on to the other computer using an account
with the necessary priveleges.

Take a look at the ServiceController class. It is there to enable us to
programmatically access and control Windows services. One overload lets you
specify both the service and machine

You can use ServiceController to control a service. Of course you need your
app to have admin. priv. You can do so by impersonate.
