DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The Resume-Service cmdlet sends a resume message to the Windows Service Controller for each of the specified services. If they have been suspended, they will resume service. If they are currently running, the message is ignored. You can specify the services by their service names or display names, or you can use the InputObject parameter to pass a service object that represents the services that you want to resume.

Object

 

NOTES

 

For more information, type "Get-Help Resume-Service -detailed". For technical information, type "Get-Help Resume-Service -full".

 

The status of services that have been suspended is "Paused." When services are resumed, their status is "Running."

 

Resume-Service can control services only when the current user has permission to do so. If a command does not work correctly, you might not have the required permissions.

 

To find the service names and display names of the services on your system, type " get-service". The service names appear in the "Name" column and the display names appear in the "DisplayName" column.

 

When specifying multiple values for a parameter, use commas to separate the values. For example, "<parameter-name> <value1>, <value2>".

 

EXAMPLE 1

 

 

This command resumes the System Event Notification service (service name = SENS) on the local computer. It uses the Name parameter to specify the service name of the service, but omits the parameter name, because it is optional.

 

EXAMPLE 2

 

 

This command resumes all of the suspended (paused) services on the computer. The first command gets all of the services on the computer. The pipeline operator passes the results to the Where-Objectcmdlet, which selects the services with a Status property of "Paused". The next pipeline operator sends the results to Resume-Service, which resumes the paused services.

 

In practice, you would use the Whatif parameter to determine the effect of the command before running it without "Whatif".
