We can use get-service to retrieve information regarding the services installed on a system. It doesn’t return all of the information we might want – specifically it doesn’t return the starting mode of the service. We can get this with WMI

Listing 6.6
Get-WmiObject -Class win32_service | Select Name, DisplayName, Description, PathName, StartMode, State
Get the Win32_Service class information using Get-WMIObject. Remember that we can access this information on remote computers by adding -computername name_of_machine. We then use a select to pick out the specific data we are interested in. We could use -property instead of a select but it returns the WMI specific information that we don’t really need.
