Can you explain what this GetObject call performs exactly?
I wrote a routine to determine the state of a given service, but I couldn't imagine that it would be that easy (?).
I suppose WMI is involved. If it is, it's not an option for me since I can't guarantee that the WMI service is running (or is allowed to be running).

This is the problem with multiposting, I posted code in the other thread that would possibly be more useful to you. Because it uses the API directly it is more likely to work on a wider range of OSs (ms of course). Here's the code, it's in C# and looks like a lot of code but the code required to find a service and start it would be fairly minimal out of all this. It should be fairly easy to translate to vb6.

<snipped>

It seems I was not very clear with my posting requesting more details about the GetObject stuff.
I have written the routine in quite the same way you posted here, (probably) based on http://vbnet.mvps.org/index.html?code/network/enumservicesadv.htm (as mentioned elsewhere in this thread).

Can you give me a pointer to the other thread? I can't find it.
Thanks!
