REQ: Remove-Service cmdlet

[chucklu]

Hi,
Since we have get-service,start-service,and some other functions about windows service.
Is it possible to add intall-service and uninstall-service?

I am using installutil.exe tool to do the installation and uninstallation.
sometimes, the uninstallation did not work.

installutil /u 

then I need to switch to cmd prompt,and use

 sc delete

If you can support install and uninstall service,it will be great.

By the way, when the installutil.exe /u did not work. It is something like this.

@chuanjiao10 thanks,new-service works.

There isn't a Remove-Service. If needed, it would be an enhancement.

[chucklu]

@SteveL-MSFT Would you add remove-service to an enhancement list?

[SteveL-MSFT]

@chucklu I've updated the title of this to reflect the ask, currently no plans to implement this

[chucklu]

@SteveL-MSFT Thanks,I wish you guys can implement it in the future.

@chucklu workaround for now:

get-ciminstance win32_service -filter "name='yourservicename'" | remove-ciminstance

[chucklu]

@SteveL-MSFT thanks,I also find the command in powershell doc

PS C:\> sc.exe delete TestService
- or -
PS C:\> (Get-WmiObject win32_service -Filter "name='TestService'").delete()

It's not convenient, if you can support Remove-Service, it would be great.

[SteveL-MSFT]

Get-WmiObject is deprecated and replaced by Get-CimInstance

thanks
