The main tool for administering services on the local
computer is the Services console in the Administrative Tools program
group. For a tool that can administer services on both local and
remote machines, use Computer Management. These tasks assume that you
have one of these consoles open.

Configure a Service

Right-click on a service Properties

The settings you can

configure
here include:

Status

The status of a service can be

started,
stopped, or paused. Pausing a service keeps existing client
connections to the service open while preventing new client
connections from forming, but with some services it may have a
different effect.

Startup type

Services can be configured

to
start in three ways:

Automatic

The service starts running automatically when the system is booted.
Most services have this setting, but services may fail to start
should the associated files somehow become corrupted or if other
services on which they depend fail to start properly. Use Services in
Administrative Tools to view whether a service that has been
configured for automatic startup has in fact started up and is
running properly.

Manual

The service must be manually started by the user or by a dependent
service that requires it. (A service that is listed as manual
startup, but which is running, was started automatically by another
service that required it.)

Disabled

The service doesn't start upon boot and
can't be started by a user or dependent service.

Log On As

Services require a security context in which to run and must
therefore be assigned an account for authentication and access
purposes. By default, most services run within the context of a
built-in account called the Local System account, which grants the
services all the rights and privileges to run as part of the
operating system.

Recovery

If a

service
fails (terminates unexpectedly or fails to start when configured for
automatic startup), you can configure several levels of recovery
actions. These actions include taking no action, attempting to
restart the service, running a designated file, and rebooting the
computer. By default, no recovery actions are specified.

You can also use the net config command to configure two important services: the Server service and the Workstation service.

Pause a Service

Right-click on a service Pause

You can pause only a
service
that is running.

Resume a Service

Right-click on a service Resume

You can resume only
a
service that has been paused.

Restart a Service

Right-click on a service Resume

You can restart only a
service
that has been stopped.

Stop a Service

Right-click on a service Stop

You can also start, stop, pause, resume, and configure services from the command line using the net command.
