I'm not sure it's that simple. One of the things in my process list is "Service Host: Server". That's so generic I can't even properly google it. One of the answers I found was "A server is an application which serves functionality to other network participants."
- stinos 6y agoIn services.msc you get a description: takes care of file and printer sharing and the likes. Otherwise you look for "what does windows server service do?"
- rbancroft 6y agoyou can also do tasklist /svc in a command prompt to get a list of svchosts.exes, pids and the services they are running.
- stinos 6y agoYup. I wondered what the PS equivalent was. So, figure out which WMI class one needs: Get-CimClass | ?{$_ -match 'service'} ok, 'Win32_service' it is, could've guessed that :) Then: $svc - Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_service what can we do with this? $svc | Get-Member Lots of options, get some to see if it's what is needed: $svc | Select-Object -Property Name, PathName, ServiceType | Format-Table Ok, looks like we need PathName. Sum up and list svchost processes including full descption like the one in services.msc: $svc | ?{$_.PathName -match 'svchost.exe'} | Select-Object -Property Name, PathName, Description | Format-Table
- Too 6y agoOr even easier, in the process manager. Just right click -> Go to Service.
- stinos 6y agoThat just tells you the service name; i.e. 'Server', which doesn't tell a lot in this case. services.msc has a more elaborate description.
