Ensure Service

This is generated from the built in components of BuildMaster 2024.0, and may be different than what you have installed (especially if you have extensions); go to [Gear Icon] -> Administration -> Operations within your BuildMaster instance to see exactly what operations are available.

Ensures the configuration of a Windows service on a server.

Script usage:

Ensure-Service(
	Name: <text>,

	Path: <text>,
	[Startup: <integer>],

	[RestartDelay: <integer>],
	[OnFailureProgramPath: <text>],
	[RebootMessage: <text>],
	[Dependencies: <@(text)>],
	[StatusChangeTimeout: <TimeSpan>]
);

This operation may be prefixed with Windows::, although this is a built-in namespace and isn't really necessary.
