禁用存在的 Winsows 服务 - PowerShell

Question

I created a script that disables Windows services.

Their number may exceed 50 services.

There are some services whose name goes back to previous versions of Windows; As these services changed their name in newer versions of Windows. So I used if : If the service name is present in $Services, it will be disabled.

With all this, the script does not work.. what is the reason?

I suspect in " if($Service.Name) "

$Services = @(  
"mpssvc"
"wscsvc"
"clipSVC"
#There are more services, but it's not necessary to show them here.
)
    
foreach ($Service in Services) {

    if($Service.Name -NotIn $Services)
    {
    Stop-Service $Service
    Set-Service $Service -StartupType Disabled
    }   
}

Let's walk through the code and see where the problem is.

# An array containing service names
$Services = @(  
"mpssvc"
"wscsvc"
"clipSVC"
#There are more services, but it's not necessary to show them here.
)
    
# Loop through the array. Pick a name one by one.
foreach ($Service in Services) {
    # Compare the array contents with service's name. Here's the catch     
    if($Service.Name -NotIn $Services)

So, what's wrong? It's the $Service.Name . Since $Service is the variable containing the current item from the $services collection, it doesn't have a .Name property. What's more, the code is checking one by one if the collection contains all of its members. Which it always will.

To achieve disabling of wanted services, get a list of services and comnpare that to the list of services to disable. Like so,

# An array containing service names
$ServicesToDisable = @(  
"mpssvc"
"wscsvc"
"clipSVC"
)
# Get all running services
$RunningServices = Get-Service | ? {$_.Status -eq "Running"}
# Loop through running services. See if it is in the disable array
foreach($s in $RunningServices) {
  if($s.Name -in $ServicesToDisable) {
    Set-Service -Startuptype Disalbed -Name $s.Name
  }
}
