New artifact details:
---------------------------------------------------------

- Artifact created
- Description set to new value
  The MapGuide service has the following configuration:
 Image Name: MgServer.exe
 Display Name: MapGuide Server
 Service Name: Server

The LanManServer service (Windows-native; provides network file and print services) has the following configuration:
 Image Name: svchost.exe -k netsvcs
 Display Name: Server
 Service Name: lanmanserver

As you can see, there is a naming conflict between the Display Name of the Server service, and the Service Name of the MapGuide Service.

This doesn't appear to affect the Windows Services MMC Snap-in, but the NET START and NET STOP commands get confused and only affect the lanmanserver service, at least on my XP Pro SP2 configuration.
