Here is a VBC script to start a service.

Place the Computer Name Or IP Address Here

strComputer = "."

Place the Name Of The Service Here

Where Name ='Alerter'

Save As Startservice.vbs

strComputer = "."
 Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
 Set colListOfServices = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_Service Where Name ='Alerter'")
  For Each objService in colListOfServices
	objService.StartService()
  Next
