Use this Knowledge Script to detect when Windows services are added or removed in the monitoring interval. This script raises an event when changes are made to the services installed on the target computer. The script monitors only changes in the list of automatic services (startup type), including installations and uninstallations of services in automatic startup and changing a service from automatic to disabled/manual or vice-versa.
NOTE:If a computer is restarted after a service is removed, the agent counters are reset. Once the counters are reset, AppManager cannot detect the service removal and does not raise an event.
Windows 2003 Server or later
