The ADSI Service Object represents any software service running on a networked machine. Examples of directory services include file servers, print servers, fax servers, database servers, and SNA servers. Service objects support the normal Active Directory interfaces and IADsService and IADsServiceOperations. Service objects that represent file services additionally support IADsContainer, IADsFileService and IADsFileServiceOperations. An object representing a file service contains ADSI FileShare Objects.
Notes to Implementers If this object does not represent a file service object, return E_NOTIMPL for QueryInterface calls on IID_IADsContainer, IID_IADsFileService, and IID_IADsFileServiceOperations.
