Use Services attributes to obtain status and configuration information about all of the services installed on the Windows Server. Services are background processes run by the operating system, regardless of the user logged in to the system. Services is a multiple-instance attribute group. You cannot mix these attributes with those of any other multiple-instance attribute group.
