Can Altiris 7.1 monitor specific system services and send alerts if they're not running on a node?

Yes. This report will return all systems that will return all services in an enviornment where a state is "stopped". You could then add one or more specific services in place of the wildcard and add this to an automation policy:

Select vc.Name

,vc.Domain

,vc.[IP Address]

,vc.[User]

,sw.Name AS [Service]

,sw.State

From vComputer vc

JOIN Inv_OS_Service_Windows sw

ON vc.Guid = sw._ResourceGuid

WHERE sw.Name LIKE '%' AND sw.State = 'Stopped'

Thanks! We will give this a try.

Be sure to mark my response as a solution if it does work, thanks!
