The Discovered Services tile displays information for the selected partition on which the services were discovered.

The Asset Administrator or delegated administrator can configure service discovery jobs to scan Windows assets and discover Windows services that may require authorization credentials.

The following types of services are discovered on managed Windows assets:

• Windows services

• Scheduled tasks

• IIS Application Pools

• Com+ applications

If the Windows asset is joined to a Windows domain, the authorization credentials can be local on the Windows asset or be Active Directory credentials.

Running Service Discovery jobs automatically and manually

• Service discovery jobs run automatically in the background if Discover Services check box is selected. If the Automatically Configure Dependent Systems check box is selected, any directory accounts that are discovered in the Service Discovery job are automatically configured as dependent accounts on the asset where the service was discovered. For more information, see Adding an Account Discovery job.
• You can manually run a Service Discovery job from Asset Management > Assets > Discovered Services. For more information, see Discovered Services tab (asset).

Discovered services and tasks association to known Safeguard accounts

Service discovery jobs associate Windows services with accounts that are already managed by Safeguard for Privileged Passwords. The accounts put under management display with an Account Status of Managed.

Service Discovery with Active Directory

A discovered service configured to run as an Active Directory account can be automatically associated to the asset with the account managed by Safeguard. Effectively, the asset will have an account dependency on the account.

To automatically associate, the Account Discovery job (which runs when Safeguard synchronizes the directory) must have the Automatically Manage Found Accounts check box selected. For more information, see Adding an Account Discovery rule. Once configured as an account dependency, when the Active Directory account’s password is changed by Safeguard, Safeguard updates the password for the service on the asset, according to the asset’s profile change settings. For more information, see Adding change password settings.

View Service Discovery job status

From the Activity Center, you can select the Activity Category named Service Discovery Activity, which shows the Event outcomes: Service Discovery Succeeded, Service Discovery Failed, or Service Discovery Started.

Table 142: Discovery: Discovered Services properties

Property	Description
Asset Name	The name of the asset where the service was discovered.
Account	The name of the account that maps to the Discovered Account column.
Domain Name	The domain name of the account if the account is an Active Directory account. Used to help determine uniqueness. Only Active Directory accounts can be configured as dependent accounts.
System Name	The system or asset that hosts the discovered mapped account.
Account Status	The Account Status column is controlled by the Manage and Ignore buttons on the Discovered Accounts grid. For more information, see Discovered Accounts. The discovered account may be: Managed: A discovered account that is managed. None: A discovered account that was not auto managed when discovered. Ignored: A discovered account that was not auto managed and was ignored from discovery. Disabled: A discovered account that previously had the status of Managed and then was marked Ignored. A disabled account is not removed from the Asset account list nor unconfigured as a dependent account. It is marked disabled and cannot be used or acted upon.
Dependent Account	A check displays if the account is associated as an account dependency on the asset. The value is blank if the account is not associated as an account dependency of the asset. This automatic dependency mapping only happens if the Automatically Manage Found Accounts option is selected on the Account Discovery job associated with the profile that is associated to the asset. For more information, see Adding an Account Discovery job.
Service Type	Type of service discovered. Values may be Service, IIS App pool, Com+ service, or Task.
Service Name	The name of the discovered service.
Service Enabled	A check displays if the service on the asset is enabled on the target machine. If there is no check mark, the service is disabled on the target machine.
Service Ignored	Ignored means the service will not show up in the grid. In other words, the service is hidden. This is controlled by the Show > Ignore actions on this grid.
Discovered Account	The discovered account name. If the account has an Account Status of Managed, then the Account, Domain Name, and System Name display.
Date/Time Discovered	The date and time when the service was discovered.
