Hi @KShahzad-8722

You can use the PowerShell command:

Start-Service -Name "eventlog"

Hi @KShahzad-8722 ,

if you want to start a service on remote computers Start-Service might not help/work. Start-Service will start the service on the local computer where the cmdlet is executed.

But maybe you like to try this:

$servers = "server1", "server2"  
$servers | ForEach-Object {  
    Get-Service -Name wuauserv -ComputerName $_ | Set-Service -Status Running  
}
