SwbemservicesEX Not Found

I am trying to write a script to shutdown a specific service on a Win2K3
server. My script (copied from a TechNet article) is as follows:

''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & _
"\root\cimv2")

Set objService = _
objWMIService.Get("Win32_Service.Name='SyndMailBBSvc'")

Return = objSyndMailBounceBack.StopService()
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

When I run the script I get the following error:

swbemservicesEX Not Found

Can anyone tell me where this error is coming from? I can't find much in
the various groups.

Thanks,
Joe

I suggest you try the WMS method used in this Scripting Guy article:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/resources/qanda/feb06/hey0227.mspx
Start with the name of a non-essential service (e.g. "Windows Time"),
then move on to your own service.

It looks like you misspelled the name of the service. Get the exact name:

strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & _
"\root\cimv2")

Set colServices = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * From Win32_Service")

For Each objService In colServices
WScript.Echo objService.Name
Next

Then you can use it with objWMIService.Get

I copied the name out of the services window, but I will run your routine to
confirm.

Thanks,

Thanks much! I'll test this next week and see where I get.

Thanks,
