Hi All,

This is regarding fetching the data from Services (Windows Consoles). I have some of the services in the machines where i have to login remotely and have to open and check the status of few particular services like EX: In our Task Manager window, we have a tab called SERVICES. In that tab, we'll have all the services running and beside columns will provied the status Running, Stopped or something.

Like that, I have to login to some remote machine and open the Services window (Console Window) and check for few services and update the status in Excel. I would like to automate this.

I'm very new to .Net. Can you anyone suggest me how to start with this?

You'll need to give a bit more detail. What do you mean by "services"? Do you mean Windows Service? Also what exactly about them do you want to check?

C#

// needs a reference to System.ServiceProcess.dll
System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController[] services = System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController.GetServices("target-machine-name-or-IP-here");

foreach (System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController service in services)
{
    var machine = service.MachineName;
    var displayName = service.DisplayName;
    var status = service.Status;
}
