Explanation

The 'net start' command in Windows displays a list of all currently running services on the system. A network administrator can use this to identify any unfamiliar or unauthorized services that may have been started by malware or an attacker. 'net serv' and 'netmgr' are not valid Windows commands. 'lusrmgr' (Local Users and Groups Manager) is a GUI snap-in for managing user accounts and groups, not for viewing running services.
