I want to list all the services whose startup type is set to automatic
I'm using PowerShell 5
$path = 'hklm:\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services'
$services = get-childitem $path | get-itemproperty -name 'Start'
foreach ($s in $services){
if($s.'Start' -like '2'){
$dn = get-itemproperty $s.'pspath' -name 'DisplayName'
echo $dn
}
}
But problem is most of the entries are using something like this:
@%systemroot%\system32\SearchIndexer.exe,-103
@%SystemRoot%\System32\wscsvc.dll,-200
So how to extract string from it?
To clarify a little bit further, for @%systemroot%\system32\SearchIndexer.exe,-103
the Display Name is "Windows Search"
. The question is, is PowerShell capable of extract string "Windows Search"
out of SearchIndexer.exe
? And how to do that?
UPDATE:
Basically stole the code from How to extract string resource from DLL
$source = @"
using System;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using System.Text;
public class ExtractData
{
[DllImport("kernel32.dll", SetLastError = true, CharSet = CharSet.Ansi)]
private static extern IntPtr LoadLibrary([MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStr)]string lpFileName);
[DllImport("user32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto)]
private static extern int LoadString(IntPtr hInstance, int ID, StringBuilder lpBuffer, int nBufferMax);
[DllImport("kernel32.dll", SetLastError = true)]
[return: MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.Bool)]
private static extern bool FreeLibrary(IntPtr hModule);
public string ExtractStringFromDLL(string file, int number) {
IntPtr lib = LoadLibrary(file);
StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder(2048);
LoadString(lib, number, result, result.Capacity);
FreeLibrary(lib);
return result.ToString();
}
}
"@
Add-Type -TypeDefinition $source
$ed = New-Object ExtractData
$path = 'hklm:\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services'
$services = get-childitem $path | get-itemproperty -name 'Start' -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
foreach ($s in $services){
if($s.'Start' -like '2'){
$dn = get-itemproperty $s.'pspath' -name 'DisplayName'
try{
$dn = $dn.DisplayName.Split(',')
$dn = $ed.ExtractStringFromDLL([Environment]::ExpandEnvironmentVariables($dn[0]).substring(1), $dn[1].substring(1))
}
catch{}
finally{
echo $dn
}
}
}
Ugly, but it worked, finally......
What's wrong with
?
