Start-ServiceAndDependencies Error

Hi,

Trying to start any service using Start-ServiceAndDependencies I’m getting the error below.

<code>[Post-Installation] :: Failed to start the service [Spooler].

Error Record:

Message : Cannot find any service with service name 'Spooler'.
InnerException :

Start-ServiceAndDependencies	17/10/2016 15:15:32	1076 (0x0434)&lt;/code&gt;</pre>

I tried using the display name too, same issue. Looking at line 9585 in AppDeployToolkitMain.ps1, I cannot see an issue and executing the command manually seems to work.

[ServiceProcess.ServiceController]$Service = Get-Service -ComputerName $ComputerName -Name $Name -ErrorAction 'Stop'

Any help appreciated.

What did you have as the computername?

I didn’t set it, so it should use local computer by default? According to the documentation anyway.

Stop-ServiceAndDependencies seems to work fine.

My bad, I killed the service process using Show-InstallationWelcome but forgot to remove the ‘BlockExecution’ parameter. So when it came to starting the service, it obviously failed.

In saying that, there is a definite problem with the ‘SkipDependentServices’ parameter in Stop/Start-ServicesAndDependencies.

1. If I run ‘start-serviceanddependencies Spooler -SkipDependentServices $true’, it fails with ‘[10-20-2016 13:00:30.749] [Initialization] [Test-ServiceExists] :: Failed check to see if service [Spooler] exists.’

2. Adding ‘SkipServiceExistsTest’, to fix the error above, and running ‘start-serviceanddependencies Spooler -SkipDependentServices $true -SkipServiceExistsTest’ fails with the error below. This is the initial problem I had.

<code>…\AppDeployToolkit&gt; start-serviceanddependencies Spooler -SkipDependentServices $true -SkipServiceExistsTest

[10-20-2016 13:00:50.123] [Initialization] [Start-ServiceAndDependencies] :: Get the service object for service [Spooler].
