Invoke-RestartService

Description

Provide a script that will simultaneously restart multiple services and offer proper error handling.

Features

1. Takes no action on disabled services.
2. If a service cannot be stopped normally, the service's PID is obtained and used in a forced taskkill command. The results of that command are used to either restart the service if it's stopped or log an error.

Usage

1. Start the restart service jobs if they are not disabled.
2. Wait until all jobs finish.
3. Get the job results:
   1. If successful, log success.
   2. If failure, get the PID and use a forced taskkill to attempt to stop the service.
      1. If taskkill is successful, restart the service by name, then wait 60 seconds and check the state of the service.
         1. If still running, log as success.
         2. If failed, log failure.
      2. If taskkill is not successful, log failure.
4. Remove any created jobs.
5. Return the results.
