Goal

Although primarily focusing on user accounts and associated resources, you can also manage services with UMRA. From all computers, including domain controllers and regular workstations, the services can be managed.

In this example project, an implementation is described to (re)start and stop services that can be selected from a list.

In the form shown, the list presents an overview of all or a number of specific services from a specific computer. By selecting a service and clicking one of the buttons, the services can be managed.

1. The example project can easily be extended to:
2. Support multiple computers. For each computer, a form can be shown or the services of multiple computers are shown in a single form.
3. Only specific services are shown. This is especially useful in a helpdesk environment to allow employees to restart only specific services.
4. The number of commands can be limited. In this case, a user can only restart a not stop a service.

Note that the example project by default supports delegation and logging: Only specific users are granted access to run the form and all service management actions are logged.
