Change LanManServer to the name of the service. The last service is used by GetObject and ADSI to filter the object it looks at. For example, if I want to start the PC Anywhere Host service on my machine, it would be:

oservice = GetObject("WinNT://MyMachine/awhost32,service")
oservice.Start

Also, this presupposes you have ADSI installed. If not, check out the MS web site and download it. Do a search on "Active Directory Service Interface".

HTH.
