$maxRepeat = 20

$status = "Stopped" # change to Stopped if you want to wait for services to start

$dtm = get-date -Format mm_dd_yyyy_hhmmsstt

function waitiuntilserverstatus($services)

{

do

{

    Stop-Service -Name $services -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

    $count = (Get-Service $services | ? {$_.status -eq $status}).count

    $maxRepeat--

    sleep -Milliseconds 600

} until ($count -eq 1 -or $maxRepeat -eq 0)

 

}

$services = 'ccmexec','bits' # provide the service name in '','' format to stop the service

foreach ($services in $services)

{

waitiuntilserverstatus $services

}

Ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.$dtm

Ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 Catroot2.$dtm

 

Additional in this script, create one more function to start the service and use at the end of this script

 

function waitiuntilserverstatus($services)

{

do

{

    Stop-Service -Name $services -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

    $count = (Get-Service $services | ? {$_.status -eq $status}).count

    $maxRepeat--

    sleep -Milliseconds 600

} until ($count -eq 0 -or $maxRepeat -eq 0)

 

}
