How to: Start an Instance of Notification Services (Services Manager)
Each instance of Notification Services has an engine on each server that runs a hosted event provider, generator, or distributor. Typically, the NS$instanceName Microsoft Windows service runs the Notification Services engine. One way to start a Windows service is through the Windows Services Manager.
Note
This procedure does not apply to clusters. On a cluster, you must use Cluster Administrator to start the Generic Service that is configured to run the instance's Windows service.
To start an instance of Notification Services
In Control Panel, double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Services.
Right-click the NS$instanceName service.
Click Start.
