#This script can be used for troubleshooting an issue with your deployment and simply restarts the Windows service specified on the machine specified, remotely
#The script first gets the status of the service and writes it to the console, and then restarts the service, and provides the status after restart
#Replace the 'server1' text and the 'W3SVC' text to represent the server name and the service name you'd like to target

$targetServer = 'server1'
#service option suggestions include: "ArcGIS Server", "Portal for ArcGIS", "ArcGIS Data Store" and "W3SVC" (IIS)
