There is already existing "Restart Symantec Management Agent" task in SMP Console. You can use it for defined managed endpoint to restart SMA there.

second way is

run services.msc on your system

Right click on Services (local)

Click on connect to another computer

Enter the ip address/computer name in the box and ok.

After that you can view the services of that computer

stop/start the service of agent from there.

Just or the fun of doing things unnecessarily complicated I will tell you how to use powershell for this.

• Create a "run script" task with ScriptType "Command Script" and the code block
  "powershell "Enable-PSRemoting -force"
• Run this on the target client machine to enable powershell remoting.
• Open a powershell as administrator.
• Run this command to stop a service:

invoke-command -ComputerName name -ScriptBlock {stop-service AeXNSClient} -credential domain\user

• Run this command to start the service:

invoke-command -ComputerName name -ScriptBlock {start-service AeXNSClient} -credential domain\user

Get-Service -ComputerName computer1 -name AexNSclient | Start-Service

Doesn't work for me. The service remains in this state.
