Getting the list of running services remotely 1

[sebpas]

I'm creating my own "surveillance" program that will ping and check server services and e-mail me when they're down. I know how to do the pinging part but can't find anything on checking remote services. My guess is that it's part of win32 API but not sure. Any help will be very appreciated.

You can use the following APIs:

OpenSCManager (advapi32.dll)
EnumServicesStatus
CloseServiceHandle

A bunch of good examples can be found at

Thanks a lot RobSchultz, I didn't know about allapi. I downloaded the API-Guide and was very pleased with what I saw. Great reference for every VB programmer.
Once again, thank you for your help, I appreciate it a lot.
