| | Service Recovery Options We are considering configuring the Recovery Options for a service in the event of a failure and for the Third Recovery Option, we have discussed launching a vbScript to send an email. Although the script to send the email is straight forward, I would like to make it generic enough to be able to apply it to any service without modifications. The pertinent information for the script would be Server Name Service Name Is there a value I can poll on the fly that will provide me with the Service which failed or some way to identify which service failed without hardcoding it in the script? (Hardcoding it is not an unreasonable option but, if I can grab it on the fly, then the script will be more flexible). Thanks. Bart |

This gives me some potential. Thanks again for the reply. Bart |
