On my notebook, I want to see all services on a remote NTv4 server. My command is as below.

$cscript service.vbs /L /S servername
(where service.vbs is from Resource Kit)

But the system says this.
Error Description: Object Requireed.

May I know why?

You can use server manager for the domain. Open server mgr, click computer, select domain and put in the name of the server ( \\servername ). You will have to have rights to the remote server to do this.

I have the Win2K Pro Resource Kit installed on my 2000 Pro machine. When I use the following command to check the services on MYPDC, it fails with the same error you receive:

cscript Service.vbs /L /S MYPDC

But, when I check a Win2K Server, itworks.
So, if you have the Windows 2000 Resource Kit version of Service.VBS, it looks like it cannot connect to a NT4 server.

I "think" it has something to do with Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) which is not installed on NT4.

hopethis helps

A product I use that will allow you to see the services running/stopped/installed on NT4 AND Win2K is Dameware NT Utilities. You can stop/start/modify the services remotely with Dameware also (amongst many other things!)
