Start/Stop a Service

  • Select the service from the list and click on the start/stop/restart toolbar button.

View Interactive Services

  • Select the service from the list. Then click on the "Show Interactive Service" toolbar button.
  • The service's console should be visible so you can troubleshoot it. If your server is running Windows 7/2008 you should see a prompt asking if you want to view a message from an interactive service. Click on "Show the message".
