WMI lib to start windows service remotely

2024/11/14 23:44:18

How do I start a service using the WMI library? The code below throws the exception:
AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'StopService'

import wmi
c = wmi.WMI ('servername',user='username',password='password')
c.Win32_Service.StartService('WIn32_service')
Answer

There is documentation regarding the library on github: https://github.com/tjguk/wmi/blob/master/docs/cookbook.rst

I believe the above code is throwing an error because you are not specifying which service to start.

Assuming you don't know what services are available to you:

import wmic = wmi.WMI()  # Pass connection credentials if needed# Below will output all possible service names
for service in c.Win32_Service():print(service.Name)

Once you know the name of the service you want to run:

# If you know the name of the service you can simply start it with:
c.Win32_Service(Name='<service_name>')[0].StartService()# Same as above, a little differently...
for service in c.Win32_Service():# Some condition to find the wanted serviceif service.Name == 'service_you_want':service.StartService()

Hopefully with the documentation, and my code snippets, you'll be able to find your solution.
