Is there a bug with the ServiceController class? If I use the following code
to connect to a Windows NT 4.0 workstation I get an error:
//**************************************************************************
*****************************
private void PIAServiceStatus_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
this.Text = "Current Service Status : " + gCurrentMachine;
ServiceController PIAsrv = new
ServiceController("PontisInstallAgent", gCurrentMachine);
label1.Text = PIAsrv.Status.ToString();
}
//**************************************************************************
*****************************
The following error is returned:
****************************************************************************
***************************
An unhandled exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException' occurred
in system.serviceprocess.dll
Additional information: Service PontisInstallAgent was not found on computer
'iblonerw1020'.
****************************************************************************
***************************
The code works fine communicating to Windows XP & Windows 2000. According to
the SDK Windows NT 4.0 is supported. Most of our machines are running sp4 or
sp6 and there are about 5000 of them.
