I agree - it definitely adds a lot of flexibility for creating groups having all of the services listed as a property of the device. The only problem I see is that the list can be extensive. There might even be a character limit for the field, so for some servers, it might not actually populate the entire list. Mosh's idea to only include running services is a great idea. I had thought of that when I wrote the script originally, but decided against it in case services happened to be stopped for whatever reason (such as patching), right as the collector was performing an active discovery sweep. My fear is that it might override the property and populate an incomplete list.
