| Platform SDK: Network Management |
Note The network management NetService functions are obsolete on Windows NT/Windows 2000 because the system provides a complete set of service functions. These should be used in place of the NetService functions, unless you need to control services on a LAN Manager 2.x server.
A service can be started using the service functions. At startup time, the service defines whether it can be stopped, paused, and continued. Windows NT/Windows 2000 networking provides several standard services, such as the workstation, server, and messenger services.
