Display running services on Windows

You may already know that you can start and stop windows services using the
net start -service name-
net stop -service name-
commands, but what you might not know is how to simply display what services are currently running. 

This is rather simple and straight forward, simply type the following.
net start

This should display all of the services currently running on your system.  If you have a lot of services running and know the service name you are looking for you can use the following to see if it is running.
net start | find "-service name-"

Windows Server 2008 core - default login

If you are new to installing Windows Server 2008 core you will notice there is a logon screen after the first reboot even though you hadn't previously setup a default password.

To get past this screen, enter administrator as the user name with no password.  After that you will be prompted to change your password.  Once you have set your new administrator password you are good to go.
