Now Supporting deployment groups

No more usernames and passwords for deployment accounts!

This extension contains tasks to start and stop windows services as well as change the startup type.

  1. Start Windows Service(s)

    This task will start windows service(s) on a list of machines and change the startup type to Automatic or Manual.

  2. Stop Windows Service(s)

    This task will stop windows service(s) on a list of machines and change the startup type to Disabled, Automatic or Manual.

  3. Install (TopShelf) Windows Service(s)

    Can be used to call executables that use TopShelf and install them as a service.

  4. Grant Logon As A Service Right

    Topshelf handles this for you, but if you are winging it, you'll need this.
