Generic Service resource type

You use the Generic Service resource type to manage Windows Server 2003 family operating system services as cluster resources. Similar to the Generic Application resource type, the Generic Service resource type provides only the most basic functionality. For example, the failure of a Generic Service resource is determined by a query of the Service Controller. If the service is running, it is presumed to be online. To provide greater functionality, you can define a custom resource type. For more information on how to create a custom resource type, see the Microsoft Platform Software Development Kit (SDK).
