public ref class Service sealed : Microsoft::SqlServer::Management::Smo::Wmi::WmiSmoObject, Microsoft::SqlServer::Management::Common::IAlterable
public sealed class Service : Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Wmi.WmiSmoObject, Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Common.IAlterable
type Service = class
    inherit WmiSmoObject
    interface IAlterable
Public NotInheritable Class Service

  • Connect to the service.

  • Modify the account and password used to connect to the service.

  • Start, stop, pause, and resume the service.

  • Check the properties of the service.
