For those of you who attended my presentation last week at the 2014 North American PowerShell Summit, you know that I am hard at work implementing your recommendations for my Help Desk software powered by PowerShell. Below is a small sampling of some of the code from one of your recommendations. The help file has the details. Below is a screen shot from the demonstration.

.SYNOPSIS
Recover information from the registry on the services of a client.
.DESCRIPTION
The Services subkeys contain entries for standard and optional Windows 2000
services, such as device drivers, file system drivers, and Win32 service
drivers. Although the values of the entries differ for each service, most
Services subkeys have the same subkeys and entries.
.EXAMPLE
Get-CurrentControlSetServices
Returns information about the service for this client from the registry.
.EXAMPLE
Get-CurrentControlSetServices | Sort-Object -Property Group, Tag
Returns information about the service for this client from the registry.
In this case, sorted first by group and then the order that they will be started in.
.NOTES
Properties:
Name
The Name of the service
Type
Identifies the type of service represented by the subkey
ServiceTypeDescription
Identifies the type of service represented by the subkey
Group
Specifies the name of the service group to which the service belongs. If this entry does not appear in the registry, the service does not belong to a service group. As a result, it will be loaded after all services in service groups are loaded.
StartMeaning
Specifies how the service is loaded or started. If the service is a Win32 service, the value of this entry must be 2, 3, or 4. This entry is not used for network adapters.
ErrorControlSeverity
Specifies how to proceed if the driver for the service or device fails to load or initialize properly. By default, the value of this entry for all Windows 2000 services and drivers is 1.\
ErrorControlMessage
Specifies how to proceed if the driver for the service or device fails to load or initialize properly. By default, the value of this entry for all Windows 2000 services and drivers is 1.
ImagePath
Specifies the location of the executable file for the driver or service. This entry is not used for network adapters.
StartLoader
Identifies what is used to start the device driver
Tag
Specifies the tag number for the service.
Each service in a service group is assigned a tag, which is a numeric value that is unique within a service group. Services in the service group are loaded in the order that their tag appears in the GroupOrderList subkey for the service group.
ErrorControl
Specifies how to proceed if the driver for the service or device fails to load or initialize properly. By default, the value of this entry for all Windows 2000 services and drivers is 1.
StartType
Describes how the service will be loaded.
