If you are happy to do without the PID of currently running
services, can probably grab service startup status from registry and
be done with it.<br>

I really can't get excited about such gruesome delving into the
bowels of Windows. A big attraction of using PS in the first place
should be to avoid resorting to such ugly machinery. .Net classes
and WMI is fair enough (as long as they don't overly burden the
system), COM objects so-so, but directly invoking DLLs and similar
seems pretty fragile as a long term proposition.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">I can't see that this code gets anything
more than Get-Service - since Get-Service is an interface to
[System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController]<br>
<br>
Some of the info can be derived from the registry or running
SC.EXE - registry interpretation requires information about
enumerations for various keys, SC would require parsing
output. Neither gives you information about the running
process if there is one which also used by the client.<br>
<br>
Looks like no way of getting away from the overhead of WMI -
digging around for extra information or messing around with
unstructured text will get you so far, but not all the info
sought.<br>

There is a documented way to do it from a Win32 API; but,
that involves using P/Invoke. See here: <a
