In this blog post, we will discuss Restart-Service cmdlet in PowerShell. You can use Restart-Service cmdlet to restart windows services. Restart-Service cmdlet first stops a service if it’s not already stopped by sending a stop message to the windows service controller. And then start the service by sending a start message to windows service controller. You can use parameters like ‘name’,’displayname’ or ‘inputobject’ to pass the service name to Restart-Service cmdlet. You need to have permission to manage windows service to use Restart-Service cmdlet.
