JSI Tip 5936. Freeware SvcUtil is a blend of the Resource Kit SC and SCLIST utilities.

"SvcUtil - This is is a cross between SC and SCLIST in that it will enumerate all services or it will deal with an individual service. The VIEWX mode of enumerating all services will show you which accounts everything runs under so if you need to quickly check services on a server to determine everything runs under localsystem this app does it quickly and painlessly. Additionally, it only asks for the permissions required to do what it is trying to do. Most of the service tools ask for full control when interfacing with the SCM so normal users aren't able to do things. With this, you don't require any special permissions to read all of the info unless someone has modified the ACL's on a service. And speaking of that, if someone has say, changed the spooler service with SUBINACL, to allow normal users to stop/start the service this code will let them whereas the NT4 versions of the service tools will not because they are not ACL aware though they are ACL bound. \[Version: 2.01.00, Date: 1/01/01\]"
