-------------------------- EXAMPLE 1 --------------------------
PS C:\>new-service -name TestService -binaryPathName "C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs"
This command creates a new service named "TestService".

PS C:\>new-service -name TestService -binaryPathName "C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs" -dependson NetLogon -displayName "Test
Service" -StartupType Manual -Description "This is a test service."
This command creates a new service named "TestService". It uses the parameters of the New-Service cmdlet to specify a description, startup
type, and display name for the new service.

PS C:\>get-wmiobject win32_service -filter "name='testservice'"
ExitCode : 0
Name : testservice
ProcessId : 0

This command uses the Get-WmiObject cmdlet to get the Win32_Service object for the new service. This object includes the start mode and the
service description.

PS C:\>sc.exe delete TestService
- or -
PS C:\>(get-wmiobject win32_service -filter "name='TestService'").delete()
This example shows two ways to delete the TestService service. The first command uses the delete option of Sc.exe. The second command uses the
Delete method of the Win32_Service objects that the Get-WmiObject cmdlet returns.
