darn spaces in NT services

[Mike McClure]

Hi Dean,

"Octel Unified Messenger Tracing System" is actually the "display name" of the
service.  It's real name is something different.  Open the properties for that
service, and look at the "Service name" field.  You should be able to use that
instead, it usually doesn't have spaces in it.
