Ektron – Stop / Start Services

This should only be done on a development computer, doing so on a production server would not be good.

Please note that while stopping the services I’m also setting the start command to “demand” this is also known as “manual”.
In setting this command Ektron will no longer automatically start with the computer.

iisreset /stop

NET STOP "Ektron CMS File HelperService"
sc config "EktronCmsFileHelperService" start= demand

NET STOP "Ektron Diagnostics Service"
sc config "EktronDiagnosticsService" start= demand

NET STOP "Ektron Notification Service"
sc config "EktronNotificationService" start= demand

NET STOP "Ektron Search Server Service"
sc config "EktronSearchServerService" start= demand

NET STOP "Ektron Windows Services 4.0"
sc config "EktronWindowsServices40" start= demand

NET STOP "SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS)"
sc config "MSSQL$SQLEXPRESS" start= demand

NET STOP "SQL Server VSS Writer"
sc config "SQLWriter" start= demand

NET STOP "SQL Server Agent (SQLEXPRESS)"
sc config "SQLAgent$SQLEXPRESS" start= disabled

NET STOP "SQL Server Browser"
sc config "SQLBrowser" start= disabled

Please note in starting the services I’m only starting the needed services and not changing the start command. If you accidentally set the start command on a computer that you should not have change the stop commands from start=demand to start=auto and then run the commands below.

iisreset

NET Start "Ektron CMS File HelperService"

NET Start "Ektron Diagnostics Service"

NET Start "Ektron Notification Service"

NET Start "Ektron Search Server Service"

NET Start "Ektron Windows Services 4.0"

NET Start "SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS)"

NET Start "SQL Server VSS Writer"
