Hello,

I'm looking for a C++ code snippet that would help determine the 'log on as'
account for a Windows service, MSSQLSERVER, for example.

Any help appreciated!

Check out QueryServiceConfig.

You could also probably use WMI but WMI is such a pain that it generally isn't
worth it, especially in C++.

Thank you! That was very quick!!

I hate to be a doof - but, which is the 'log on as' parameter?

// Print the configuration information.

printf("\nSample_Srv configuration: \n");
printf(" Type: 0x%x\n", lpqscBuf->dwServiceType);
printf(" Start Type: 0x%x\n", lpqscBuf->dwStartType);
printf(" Error Control: 0x%x\n", lpqscBuf->dwErrorControl);
printf(" Binary path: %s\n", lpqscBuf->lpBinaryPathName);

if (lpqscBuf->lpLoadOrderGroup != NULL)
printf(" Load order group: %s\n", lpqscBuf->lpLoadOrderGroup);
if (lpqscBuf->dwTagId != 0)
printf(" Tag ID: %d\n", lpqscBuf->dwTagId);
if (lpqscBuf->lpDependencies != NULL)
printf(" Dependencies: %s\n", lpqscBuf->lpDependencies);
if (lpqscBuf->lpServiceStartName != NULL)
printf(" Start Name: %s\n", lpqscBuf->lpServiceStartName);
if (lpqscBuf2->lpDescription != NULL)
printf(" Description: %s\n", lpqscBuf2->lpDescription);

I would bet that is more a C++ thing than a WMI thing.
IMO win32_Service object in WMI is extremely simple and handy
and I find its use remoted in a domain context quite acceptibly fast.

WMI seems to be ok for one off stuff. The times I have tried to use it in
monitoring or other things it tends to start to get screwy. OVO/W uses it and I
know the OVO/W SPI developers are moving to get away from it due to all of the
support issues they have encountered with it.

When a remote "gets toasted" relative to its WMI support then
yes, it can be trying to diag and get that machine's WMI support
whole again.
