How to: Start an Instance of Notification Services (Command Prompt)
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 by using Windows Server services commands.
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.
