This command uses **Get-WmiObject** to get the **Win32_Service** object for the new service.
This object includes the start mode and the service description.

### Example 4: Set the SecurityDescriptor of a service when creating.

This example adds the **SecurityDescriptor** of the service being created.

```powershell
$SDDLToSet = "D:(A;;CCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRRC;;;SY)(A;;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWO;;;BA)(A;;CCLCSWLOCRRC;;;SU)"
New-Service -Name "TestService" -BinaryPathName "C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs" -DependsOn NetLogon -DisplayName "Test Service" -StartupType Manual -Description "This is a test service." -SecurityDescriptorSddl $SDDLToSet
```

The **SecurityDescriptor** is stored in the `$SDDLToSet` variable. The **SecurityDescriptorSddl** parameter uses
`$SDDLToSet` to set the **SecurityDescriptor** of the new service.
