I'm afraid I don't know much about wmic; but if, as you say, you are "looking for some way to get the registry service name", you can try using: `sc query`.

This will return information similar to this: 

SERVICE_NAME: WSearch
DISPLAY_NAME: Windows Search
        TYPE               : 10  WIN32_OWN_PROCESS
        STATE              : 4  RUNNING
                                (STOPPABLE,NOT_PAUSABLE,ACCEPTS_SHUTDO
+WN)
        WIN32_EXIT_CODE    : 0  (0x0)
        SERVICE_EXIT_CODE  : 0  (0x0)
        CHECKPOINT         : 0x0
        WAIT_HINT          : 0x0

SERVICE_NAME: wuauserv
DISPLAY_NAME: Automatic Updates
        TYPE               : 20  WIN32_SHARE_PROCESS
        STATE              : 4  RUNNING
                                (STOPPABLE,NOT_PAUSABLE,ACCEPTS_SHUTDO
+WN)
        WIN32_EXIT_CODE    : 0  (0x0)
        SERVICE_EXIT_CODE  : 0  (0x0)
        CHECKPOINT         : 0x0
        WAIT_HINT          : 0x0

You'll have to scrape the output for the SERVICE_NAME, but it may be what you need.

Good luck!
