To start, stop, or restart Provisioning Services on a Provisioning Server:

Highlight the Provisioning Server in the Console, then select the Stream Services menu option from the Actions menu, right-click menu, or Actions pane. The Provisioning Server Control dialog appears.

Select from the following menu options:

Option	Description
Start	Starts the Stream Service
Stop	Places the Provisioning Server in off-line mode
Restart	After modifying Provisioning Server settings, such as adding or removing IPs, restart the Stream Service

PVS console fails to restart or stop

Sometimes, the PVS console may fail to restart or stop services when running a stream service with a network service account. When this occurs, the service may appear in the started state, however, the console prevents you from restarting or stopping the stream service.

Tip

By default, a network service account does not have permissions to start/stop services.

For example, if services are configured with a network services account, running the configuration wizard results in an error condition. The status appears as running and streaming the vDisk, however, the service cannot be restarted or stopped:

You may be able to resolve this issue by associating the stream service with a specific account which has the required permissions to access the database. For example, if the services are configured with a specific account (for example, anuj.com\administrator), the status appears as started, and you can restart or stop the services from the PVS console:
