You can enable or disable the CA ControlMinder protection of Windows services.

To enable protection of Windows services, set the configuration setting OperationMode in the Instrumentation\PlugIns\WinServiceplg section of the CA ControlMinder registry to 1. To disable protection, set OperationMode to 0.

By default, CA ControlMinder enables protection of Windows services.

For CA ControlMinder to protect a Windows service, protection needs to be enabled and the WINSERVICE class needs to be active.
