I am trying to store the names of all the dependent services of the Windows service "Spooler" with the code below...
'''
$service_name = 'Spooler'
$dependent_services = @()
Get-Service -Name $service_name -DependentServices | ForEach-Object {
$dependent_services += $_.Name
}
Write-Host $dependent_services
'''
It works the output is shows below...
'''
Fax
'''
But when I tried to achieve the same with the Select-Object CmdLet with the -InputObject and -Property option as shown below, I got empty result.
'''
$service_name = 'Spooler'
$dependent_services = @()
$service = Get-Service -Name $service_name
Select-Object -InputObject $service -Property DependentService | ForEach-Object {
$dependent_services += $_.Name
}
Write-Host $dependent_services
'''
I have looked into Microsoft documentation also, but not no example was provided on how to use the Select-Object CmdLet with the -InputObject option.
Please help.
Thanks
