I know nothing about scripting, but I would like to run a
scheduled script that will stop and start a particular
service.
Can I do this? If yes, how?
Thanks

Run something like this from the task scheduler:
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
net stop ServiceName
call sleep 10
net start ServiceName
goto :EOF
:sleep
:: sleep for x number of seconds
ping -n %1 127.0.0.1 > NUL 2>&1
goto :EOF
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Where ServiceName is the name of the service you want to start and stop,
like NTPTime.
If you have a software firewall then it might be better to use sleep.exe
from the resource kit or mine here,
