Synopsis
Manages services on local and remote computers.
Description
Services starts, stops, pauses, resumes, and configures startup and recovery settings for services on both local and remote computers, including computers running Windows NT 4.0 Server. You can also view the various dependencies between services so you can see the effect of stopping or pausing services.
The corresponding Windows NT 4.0 tool is Services in the Control Panel.
Using Services

Start → Programs → Administrative Tools → Computer Management → Services and Applications → Services
Installing the Services snap-in into a new or existing console

Action menu
Under the Action menu you can select the following:
- Services
Select this to send a console message to all users currently connected to the connected server. You might do this, for example, if you were going to pause or stop the Server service, telling users to close their files in order to avoid losing work.
- A service in the Details Pane
Select this to start, stop, pause, resume, or restart the service. Double-click on a service to open its property sheet in order to configure the startup type, account context, and recovery settings for the service. For more information on procedures see service.
