    1. Hello,
      If you are looking for an easy solution for WinXP/2003 through Win8/2012 that has not external dependencies, like enabling PowerShell script execution or installing/copy program files, then using the CMD.EXE prompt’s FOR command is the best bet.

      :: A one line batch file 
for /F %%i in (computerlist.txt) do ( @sc \\%%i stop "SERVICE NAME" )

:: Same one liner but direct at command prompt
for /F %i in (computerlist.txt) do ( @sc \\%i stop "SERVICE NAME" )
