Windows – Filter services on services.msc or windows services console alternative

mmcservicewindows

I'm trying to set a custom management console for helpdesk accounts with a reduced set of our programs running as Windows Services so they can visually start/stop/manage them. Services.msc is not what I'm looking for unless I could filter the services I want. I've been testing Sysinternals Autoruns and NirSoft ServiWin but they can't make complex filtering and save it for later. Powershell commands give status information and allow to start/stop but I'm looking something similar to a MMC.

Do you know such a tool? Thank you.

There's a freeware utility called ServiWin that will do what you would like:

It has a /LoadFromList command line argument:

Starting from version 1.50, you can instruct ServiWin to load only the desired services by using the /LoadFromList command-line option. You can specify the desired services by their name, display name, or the .exe file. Here's a few examples:

serviwin.exe /LoadFromList WZCSVC Spooler Schedule LmHosts Browser RemoteRegistry serviwin.exe /LoadFromList svchost.exe serviwin.exe /LoadFromList "C:\WINDOWS\System32\ups.exe"
