In order to do this programmatically, it may be necessary to retrieve a list of all service accounts available on the server. To do this, there is a command BrowseServiceAccounts that operates just like any other browse command where it takes a <start> and <count> argument. There is an additional, optional third argument where a specific service can be specified by name or GUID.
For example:
BrowseServiceAccounts 1 10 would retrieve 10 accounts starting at 1.
BrowseServiceAccounts 11 10 would retrieve 10 accounts starting at 11.
BrowseServiceAccounts 1 5 Pandora would retrieve up to 5 Pandora accounts, if any exist.
A standard response would look like:
| Code Block |
|---|
BeginServiceAccounts Total=4 Start=1 Alpha=0 Caption="ServiceAccounts" |

ServiceAccountInfo {288be067-d458-348d-41ac-d8c2a0aeb68f} "autonomic-controls@deezer.com" "Deezer" "-1" "" "" "" |

As with all MMS control commands, it must be sent to port 5004 on the MMS. It must be followed by a carriage return and a line feed. Once sent, simply browse the service in question normally and the specified account will be preselected for you.
