ResumeService method of the Win32_Service class (CIMWin32 WMI Providers)
The ResumeService WMI class method attempts to place the referenced service in the resumed state.
This topic uses Managed Object Format (MOF) syntax. For more information about using this method, see Calling a Method.
Syntax
uint32 ResumeService();
Parameters
This method has no parameters.
Return value
Returns one of the values listed in the following list, or any other value to indicate an error. For additional error codes, see WMI Error Constants or WbemErrorEnum. For general HRESULT values, see System Error Codes.

Remarks
Although there might appear to be no practical difference between a service that is stopped and a service that is paused, the two states appear differently to the SCM. A stopped service is a service that is not running and must go through the entire service start procedure. A paused service, however, is still running but has had its functioning is suspended. Because of this, a paused service does not need to go through the entire service start procedure but needs a different procedure to resume functioning.
You must use the proper method to start a service that has been stopped or to resume a service that has been paused. The Win32_Service methods StartService and ResumeService should be used in the following situations:
- If a service is currently stopped, you must use the StartService method to restart it; ResumeService cannot start a service that is currently stopped.
- If a service is paused, you must use ResumeService. If you use the StartService method on a paused service, you receive the message, "The service is already running." However, the service remains paused until the resume service control code is sent to it.
Examples
The following VBScript code sample describes how to resume a paused service from instances of Win32_Service.
Note
The service must support pausing and be running already.
Set ServiceSet = GetObject("winmgmts:").ExecQuery("select * from Win32_Service where Name='Schedule'")
for each Service in ServiceSet
SupportsPause = Service.AcceptPause
if SupportsPause = true then
RetVal = Service.ResumeService()
if RetVal = 0 then
WScript.Echo "Service resumed"
else
if RetVal = 1 then
WScript.Echo "Pause not supported"
else WScript.Echo "An error occurred:" & RetVal
End If
End If
else
WScript.Echo "Service does not support pause"
end if
next
The following Perl code sample describes how to resume a paused service from instances of Win32_Service.
Note
The service must support pausing and be running already.
use strict;
use Win32::OLE;
my $ServiceSet;
eval { $ServiceSet = Win32::OLE->GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\\\.\\Root\\CIMv2")->
ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_Service WHERE Name='Schedule'"); };
if (!$@ && defined $ServiceSet)
{
foreach my $Service (in $ServiceSet)
{
my $SupportsPause = $Service->{AcceptPause};
if ($SupportsPause)
{
my $RetVal = $Service->ResumeService();
if ($RetVal == 0)
{
print "\nService resumed\n";
}
else
{
if ($RetVal == 1)
{
print STDERR "\nPause not supported\n";
}
else
{
print STDERR "\nAn error occurred: ", $RetVal, "\n";
}
}
}
else
{
print "\nService does not support pause\n";
}
}
}
else
{
print STDERR Win32::OLE->LastError, "\n";
}
