Fixes #24272
PR Summary
Adds verbose messages to
Get-Servicewhen certain service propertiescannot be retrieved due to permissions or other issues.
When
Get-Servicefails to read properties like Description,DelayedAutoStart, BinaryPathName, StartupType or UserName, it now emits
a verbose message explaining which service, which property, and why it
failed. The message is only visible when using
-Verbose, so it isnon-intrusive by default.
PR Context
This implements the behavior approved by the WG-Cmdlets-Management working
group in issue #24272. The verbose stream was chosen over debug stream as
most users rerun with
-Verboseto diagnose issues.Tested
Verified locally that verbose messages appear for services with missing
MUI resources (e.g. NPSMSvc, WaaSMedicSvc) when running
Get-Service -Verbose.
