Start/Stop Window Service from ASP.NET page

Question

Is there a way to start / stop a windows service of a server in a different network

(not \\<server name>) from an asp.net page?

I tried using ServiceController but it's only work if it's in the same network.

Anything you can do from command line or powershell can be ran from a page (assuming the app pool user has correct permissions etc)

Powershell is probably your best bet for managing services on a remote server though this will require the server to allow remote powershell.

and of course for the topic of powershell resetting/stopping remote services.

Google is definitely your friend on this one :)

@PatrickHofman I'd disagree as 6 of those links are on stackexchange; adding the contents of other posts would cause duplication whilst losing the context. – Chris McKee Apr 29 '16 at 11:05

@PatrickHofman we'll have to agree to disagree as this is from 3 years ago and frankly I don't care; if you want to provide the contents of other posts as an answer to a vague question feel free. – Chris McKee Apr 29 '16 at 11:12
@PatrickHofman I think sharing links is also helpful and sometime is a better answer – Mohammad Fahmawi Dec 10 '18 at 09:27
