Use Case
With Royal Server, you can manage Windows Services directly from OS X – without opening an RDP connection, firing up services.msc, miscellaneous scrolling around, etc.
Remark: To manage Windows Services, Royal TSX needs a Royal Server installation. This blogpost explains how to quickly install and configure it.
Configuring a Windows Services Connection
The basic configuration only needs a Computer Name:
Additionally, you specify an account on the machine where you want to manage the Windows Services.
When you connect, you get all the installed Windows Services with their status and additional information.
Using the quick filter in the Toolbar, you can further drill down.
With the Toolbar or the Context Menu, you can Start, Stop or Restart one or multiple services.
Customising the Windows Services view
Right-clicking on the column headers offers more options: you can view/hide more columns (e.g. Process ID) and filter based on the content of the column.
Share your Royal Documents between Royal TS (for Windows) and Royal TSX
And of course, all the mentioned features work identically on Royal TS (for Windows).
