title: running a windows service from jmeter
body: <p>I am writing a jmeter script to perform DB functional testing. I have a Windows Service that runs every on X interval and it updates certain DB records when its done. I need to be able to run the windows service remotely and verify the DB changes.</p>
  
  <p>Is it possible to run a windows service remotely say using <code>sc \\machine stop &lt;service&gt;</code> from jmeter?<br>
  If yes, how can I do this?</p>
  
  <p>Appreciate any suggestions!</p>
