CIM_Service class
A CIM_Service is a Logical Element that contains the information necessary to represent and manage the functionality provided by a Device and/or SoftwareFeature. A Service is a general-purpose object to configure and manage the implementation of functionality. It is not the functionality itself.
The following syntax is simplified from Managed Object Format (MOF) code and includes all of the inherited properties.

Members
The CIM_Service class has these types of members:
Properties
The CIM_Service class has these properties.
-
Caption
-
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: MaxLen (64)
The Caption property is a short textual description (one-line string) of the object.
This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.
-
-
CreationClassName
-
CreationClassName indicates the name of the class or the subclass used in the creation of an instance. When used with the other key properties of this class, this property allows all instances of this class and its subclasses to be uniquely identified.
-
Description
-
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
The Description property provides a textual description of the object.
This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.
-
-
InstallDate
-
-
Data type: datetime
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: MappingStrings ("MIF.DMTF|ComponentID|001.5")
A datetime value indicating when the object was installed. A lack of a value does not indicate that the object is not installed.
This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.
-
-
Name
-
The Name property uniquely identifies the Service and provides an indication of the functionality that is managed. This functionality is described in more detail in the object's Description property.
-
Started
-
-
Data type: boolean
-
Access type: Read-only
Started is a boolean indicating whether the Service has been started (TRUE), or stopped (FALSE).
-
-
StartMode
-
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: MaxLen (10)
StartMode is a string value indicating whether the Service is automatically started by a System, Operating System, etc. or only started upon request.
-
-
("Automatic")
-
("Manual")
Status
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: MaxLen (10)
A string indicating the current status of the object. Various operational and non-operational statuses are defined. Operational statuses are "OK", "Degraded", "Stressed" and "Pred Fail". "Stressed" indicates that the Element is functioning, but needs attention. Examples of "Stressed" states are overload, overheated, etc. The condition "Pred Fail" (failure predicted) indicates that an Element is functioning properly but predicting a failure in the near future. An example is a SMART-enabled hard drive. Non-operational statuses can also be specified. These are "Error", "NonRecover", "Starting", "Stopping" and "Service". "NonRecover" indicates that a non-recoverable error has occurred. "Service" describes an Element being configured, maintained or cleaned, or otherwise administered. This status could apply during mirror-resilvering of a disk, reload of a user permissions list, or other administrative task. Not all such work is on-line, yet the Element is neither "OK" nor in one of the other states.
This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.
