Recycle-Services.ps1 - Stops a list of services and restarts them again
.DESCRIPTION
This script will stop a given list of services, in the order given,
then start the services again in the reverse order.
While stopping the services it will disable them to prevent other automation
from restarting them prematurely. When restarting the services it will set
their startup type to "Automatic".
Script by Mark Randol - randoltech.blogspot.com
.USAGE
Change the line that has
[String[]]$ServiceNames =
to include whatever services you need restarted. You can add as many as you like
just be sure to enclose the service names in quotations and seperate them with commas
Example:
[String[]]$ServiceNames = "Audiosrv","MyService","SUMDUMSERVICE"
