Stop service before restart

I need restart some services prior to resarting machines.

Can I stop the service only if one of the fixlets within a baseline are run on the targeted machines?

Creating a custom action via net stop will stop the service continually when it is run via policy.

Thanks!

When creating your baseline, uncheck the box “Baseline will be relevant on applicable computers where this component is relevant” for your restart service task.

That way the baseline won’t become relevant unless at least one of your Fixlets is relevant.

The checkbox is visible when you expand a component on the components tab of the Edit Baseline dialog.

Hi Jesse-

I understand the logic, but I am not seeing the option "Baseline will be relevant on applicable computers where this component is relevant.

Do I use a relevency statement for the stop service task?

Thanks!

See the picture. You need to expand the component by clicking the + icon before you can see the checkbox.

Thanks Jesse. That worked for me.
