[!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion](../../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] Configuration Manager manages services that are related to [!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion](../../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)]. Although many of these tasks can be accomplished using the [!INCLUDE[msCoName](../../includes/msconame-md.md)] Windows Services dialog, is important to note that [!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion](../../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] Configuration Manager performs additional operations on the services it manages, such as applying the correct permissions when the service account is changed. Using the normal Windows Services dialog to configure any of the [!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion](../../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] services might cause the service to malfunction.
