NET STOP: service is not responding to the control function?

I'm trying to use a .bat script to stop two services on Windows Server 2008 (using net stop)

I get an error saying:

The service is not responding to 开发者_如何转开发the control function.

More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 2186.

Press any key to continue . . . 
Terminate batch job (Y/N)? 

Is there any idea what is causing this and how to overcome this problem?

You don't have a batch problem, you have a problem with the service.

NET STOP is trying to stop the service, but the service is not responding to the request.
