=== Find and delete the service ===

A rugue DHCP is running on my PC as a service. Let's find the service name, stop and delete it
First let's find the service with name containing "dhcp"...

  wmic service where "name like 'dhcp%'" list status
  
CMD replies:

<code>
C:\Work_Dir\VoIP\DHCP server>wmic service where "name like 'dhcp%'" list status
ExitCode  Name        Status
0         Dhcp        OK
0         DHCPServer  OK
</code>
So there is a service called "DHCPServer running on the computer
Let's stop it...

  sc stop DHCPServer

CMD replies:

<code>
SERVICE_NAME: DHCPServer
        TYPE               : 10  WIN32_OWN_PROCESS
        STATE              : 3  STOP_PENDING
                                (STOPPABLE, NOT_PAUSABLE, IGNORES_SHUTDOWN)
        WIN32_EXIT_CODE    : 0  (0x0)
        SERVICE_EXIT_CODE  : 0  (0x0)
        CHECKPOINT         : 0x4
        WAIT_HINT          : 0x0  
</code>

Now we can delete the service

  sc delete DHCPServer

and the CMD replies:

<code>
[SC] DeleteService SUCCESS
</code>
