Configure services on remote hosts.

 

UpdateServices

 

Service Display Name

The display name of the service to manage. The drop-down list is initialized from the local machine. If known, the service key name (can be found either in the registry or in the service details on Windows 2000 and higher) can be entered instead, after a colon (':'). This informs AutoAdministrator that the value is using a service key name. For example, the Workstation service has the key name lanmanworkstation. To use this name enter

 

:lanmanworkstation

 

into the Service display name field.

 

Control Service

UpdateServices_control

 

Query status

Example query output:

Service "Alerter" is STOPPED (Manual), using account LocalSystem

This is a non-destructive operation.

Start service

Configure Service

UpdateServices_configure

 

Set startup type to manual

Sets the startup mode of the service to manual so that the service is not automatically started when the Operating System boots. The service can still be started if other services start it.

Set startup type to automatic

Sets the startup mode of the service to automatic so that the service is automatically started when the Operating System boots.

Set startup type to disabled

Disables the service so that it cannot be started, unless reconfigured to manual or automatic startup mode.

 

Remove Service

UpdateServices_remove

 

Remove service

Stops the service (if running) and deletes the service configuration. Service specific data (such as files, configuration) is not removed.

Remove service and file

Stops the service (if running), deletes the service and removes the associated file. Some service specific data may still be left, if the service used multiple files and/or saved configuration data in the registry.

 

Set Logon

UpdateServices_logon

 

Changes the logon settings for the service. These changes will not go into effect until the service is restarted (e.g. via "restart service" checkbox, manual restart or system reboot).
