Set-Service: This is a PowerShell cmdlet used to modify the properties of a Windows service.
-Name ${hostname}: This parameter specifies the name of the service to modify. ${hostname} is a placeholder that is likely referring to the current host name of the machine executing the script. It is used to dynamically retrieve the name of the service based on the hostname.
-DisplayName "${name}": This parameter defines the new display name for the service. ${name} is another placeholder that would likely be replaced with the desired display name as a string.

In summary, this command dynamically sets the display name of a service based on the current hostname of the machine and a provided display name.
