DuaneRural,

Try this:

1. Download PSExec: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897553.aspx
2. Then issue the following command:

psexec \\%remotecomputer% "C:\Program Files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection\smc.exe" -stop

Then to start it back up:

psexec \\%remotecomputer% "C:\Program Files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection\smc.exe" -start

 

You may need to pass a -u or -p argument for a username/password depending on your environment.

use psexec

to stop:

psexec \\pcname "C:\program files\symantec\symantec endpoint protection\<version>\smc.exe" -stop

to start:

psexec \\pcname "C:\program files\symantec\symantec endpoint protection\<version>\smc.exe" -start

You may need to issue a -u or -p command depending on your environment. (to pass a username/password). This will stop the SEP services, then start them on the remote workstation you specify in the command.
