Ever wondered about the nitty-gritty details of your SQL Server services? This handy query gives you a quick overview of essential information for each service running on your server.
SELECT servicename ,process_id ,startup_type_desc ,status_desc ,last_startup_time ,service_account ,is_clustered ,cluster_nodename ,[filename] ,instant_file_initialization_enabled FROM sys.dm_server_services WITH (NOLOCK) OPTION (RECOMPILE);
This query pulls details like the **service name**, its **process ID**, how it's set to **start up** (manual, automatic, etc.), its **current status**, when it last **started**, the **account** it's running under, and whether it's part of a **cluster**. It even tells you if **Instant File Initialization** is enabled!
For more in-depth information about `sys.dm_server_services`, you can always refer to the official Microsoft documentation.
