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

  1. In Control Panel, double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Services.

  2. Right-click the NS$instanceName service.

  3. Click Start.
