Not aware of any best practices for this, as each service could be implemented in a different manner. However there may be something I'm not aware of; I'm currently working with Java/BPEL services, and the BPEL implements various interfaces which allow healthchecks to be performed. I guess you could do something similar with WCF - have each service implement a pulse method, and write a client app which would iterate all services and "probe" them by invoking the pulse method. However that would only indicate network connectivity to the service, and may mask problems on the service end.
