This function returns a bunch of the missing configuration in the form of a `Carbon.Service.ServiceInfo` object: * Account name/user name * Path * Description * Failure actions You can load a specific service using its name, or pipe in `ServiceController` objects. In addition to this function, Carbon also adds this information as extended type data properties onto the `ServiceController` class. To see it, Get-Service | Get-Member The user running this function must have `QueryConfig`, `QueryStatus`, and `EnumerateDependents` permissions on the service. Use `Grant-ServicePermission` to grant these permissions. This function is new in Carbon 1.8. .LINK Grant-ServicePermission .EXAMPLE Get-Service | Get-ServiceConfiguration Demonstrates how you can pipe in a `ServiceController` object to load the service. This works for services on remote computers as well. .EXAMPLE Get-ServiceConfiguration -Name 'w3svc' Demonstrates how you can get a specific service's configuration. .EXAMPLE Get-ServiceConfiguration -Name 'w3svc' -ComputerName 'enterprise' Demonstrates how to get service configuration for a service on a remote computer. #> [CmdletBinding()] [OutputType([Carbon.Service.ServiceInfo])] param( [Parameter(Mandatory=$true,ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName=$true,Position=0)] [string] # The name of the service. $Name, [Parameter(ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName=$true)] [Alias('MachineName')] [string] # The name of the computer where the service lives. $ComputerName ) begin { Set-StrictMode -Version 'Latest' Use-CallerPreference -Cmdlet $PSCmdlet -Session $ExecutionContext.SessionState } process { New-Object 'Carbon.Service.ServiceInfo' $Name,$ComputerName } } |
