Introduction
When monitoring Windows servers and services it would be really handy to have a check to see if all the services that are registered with the system to automatically start up during boot, are also started.
You can use the item services[automatic] and compare its results with the output of the item services[automatic,started] using a trigger. However, this is not a very nice approach to this problem because it will tell you that there is a difference between these two but it will not tell you exactly which service has gone down.
