    Is there a PowerShell command that is equivalent that I can use to create a service in it's own process such as 'sc.exe config winmgmt type= own'?  Every so often I come upon a machine in my domain where wingmgt service as stopped and I can't get it started until I run the service control program. I want to use PowerShell but was hoping the equivalent command existed.

    That command works in PowerShell.  There is no PS command that changes a service type.

    I take that back.  It appears that you can use WMI to change the service type:

    That was perfect. Thank you.

    $s = (Get-WmiObject win32_service -filter "Name='winmgmt'")

    $s.Change($null, $null, 16)

    You cannot change "ServiceType"  it is a readonly property.  It can only be set with the "Change" method.

    That may be but the docs say:

    ServiceTypeData type: string
    Access type: Read-only
    Qualifiers: MappingStrings ("Win32API|Service Structures|QUERY_SERVICE_CONFIG|dwServiceType"),
    DisplayName ("Service Type")

Type of service provided to calling processes.

The values are:

Kernel Driver ("Kernel Driver")
File System Driver ("File System Driver")
Adapter ("Adapter")
Recognizer Driver ("Recognizer Driver")
Own Process ("Own Process")
Share Process ("Share Process")
Interactive Process ("Interactive Process")

    I tested the "Put" and it does work on W10 and later.

    Works on Windows 7 and later.  WS2003/xp it appears to be readonly.
