How to Get Company Name for a Windows Service Using Powershell

  • 772

In order to be able to easily detect which of a group of security products is installed on a machine, I would like to be able to filter the Powershell Get-Service output by the Company Name attached to the service, but that information is not included in the Get-Service output. I've also tried using a Get-WmiObject query in place of Get-Service and still no Company Name.

I know the information is available somehow because Process Explorer shows it.

    You may use Get-Process and filter with Where-Object to list process with a specific Company Name:

    Get-Process | Where-Object { $_.Company -eq "IBM" }

    Would return any process with a company name of IBM exactly. You may also use any of the other comparison/regex operators to alter the fitlering:

    Get-Process | Where-Object { $_.Company -like "*ymantec*" }

    Would return process with a company name containing ymantec anywhere in the string.
