Starting or stopping services

You can start and stop services from both the Administration Console and the Windows Service Control manager.

Note that there is a command-line utility, EVservice, with which you can start and stop local and remote Windows services. EVservice is useful if you have a backup procedure that you want to automate. The utility is in the Enterprise Vault program folder (normally C:\Program Files\Enterprise Vault). See the Utilities manual for guidelines on how to use it.
