function Repair-SophosUpdate {

    [cmdletbinding()]

    Param(

         [Parameter(Mandatory=$True)]
         [string]$computername
    )
    $Services = Get-Service -Name 'Sophos*'

    ForEach ($Service in $Services) {

        If (($Service.Name -like 'Sophos*') -and ($Service.Status -eq 'running')) {
            Restart-Service -Name $Service -PassThru -Verbose

        }
         Else
         {

            Start-Service -Name $Service -PassThru -Verbose
        }
    }
} ; Repair-SophosUpdate

When I run the function I get

Restart-Service : Cannot find any service with service name 'System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController'.

The services exist and are running.

Hi Alex,
The restart-service is missing the name of the service. see below update

function Repair-SophosUpdate {

    [cmdletbinding()]

    Param(

         [Parameter(Mandatory=$True)]
         [string]$computername
    )
    $Services = Get-Service -Name 'Sophos*'

    ForEach ($Service in $Services) {

        If (($Service.Name -like 'Sophos*') -and ($Service.Status -eq 'running')) {
            Restart-Service -Name $Service.Name -PassThru -Verbose

        }
         Else
         {

            Start-Service -Name $Service.Name -PassThru -Verbose
        }
    }
} ; Repair-SophosUpdate

Regards
Shihan
