So I worked out an easy way to do this for the particular services in
question - luckily they all have a .exe process running (which is not
true of all services), so I just used a PROC test instead.
Config fragment below.
▸ quoted from David Baldwin
# running old AV but not new AV
CLASS=win32 HOST=%^(host1|host2)\.
SVC "InoTask" startup=automatic status=started
PROC MsMpEng.exe 0 0
# running new AV but not old AV
CLASS=win32 EXHOST=%^(host1|host2)\.
PROC InoRT.exe 0 0
SVC "MsMpSvc" startup=automatic status=started
Now to clean up the hosts that has flushed out :)

We are in the process of migrating between management tools here, and I
was wondering if there is a way of configuring analysis.cfg to check
that a Windows service is not installed. This would allow me to check
that machines with the old tool installed do not have the new one, and
vice versa.
I tried checking for stopped, but that fails because it's Not Found.
I'm hoping to set up something similar to below
# running old AV but not new AV
CLASS=win32 HOST=%^(host1|host2)\.
SVC "InoTask" startup=automatic status=started
SVC "MsMpSvc" startup=%.* status=stopped COLOR=yellow
# running new AV but not old AV
CLASS=win32 EXHOST=%^(host1|host2)\.
SVC "InoTask" startup=%.* status=stopped COLOR=yellow
SVC "MsMpSvc" startup=automatic status=started
If the functionality doesn't exist at present, I'll submit it as a
feature request.
If all else fails, I can monitor the client channel and roll my own
check in perl against the [svcs] section.
David.
