win32serviceutil - remove service

[ChrisH]

Does anyone know of a way to remove a Windows service on a remote
machine using python?

I found the following link on ASPN that tells you how to do just about
everything but remove a service.

Manipulating Windows Services

http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/59872

According to the article, the answer is in Python Programming on Win32.
I have that book and still can't find the answer.

Re: win32serviceuti l - remove service

Something like this should work if you have sufficient privileges.

import win32service
svc_mgr =
win32service.Op enSCManager('se rver_name',None ,win32service.S C_MANAGER_ALL_A C
CESS)
svc_handle =
win32service.Op enService(svc_m gr,'svc_name',w in32service.SER VICE_ALL_ACCESS )
win32service.De leteService(svc _handle)
