SCMControl

This sample illustrates using SQL Service Control Manager (SQL-SCM) to query and change the execution state of the following services on a local computer:

• Microsoft® SQL Server (MSSQLServer)
  
  
• SQL Server Agent (SQLServerAgent)
  
  
• MS DTC (MSDTC)

SQL Service Control Manager (SQL-SCM) is an API supporting control of the Microsoft® SQL Server™ and related services for Microsoft Windows® 95/98 and Microsoft Windows NT®.

This Microsoft® Visual C++® sample uses the w95scm.dll to get the status of and control various SQLServer services. The sample is a console application. Using this sample, you can:

• Start the SQL Server (MSSQLServer), SQL Server Agent (SQLServerAgent) or MS DTC (MSDTC) services on the local computer.
  
  
• Pause and continue the MSSQLServer service.
  
  
• Stop a supported service.
  
  
• Query a supported service to determine its current execution state.
