STSADM for Starting and Stopping Sharepoint services on a farm


Today a colleague wanted to stop some SharePoint services using PowerShell. I tried doing the same in STSADM.This is how you do the same using STSADM

To list out all Sharepoint services

stsadm -o enumservices [I am listing only some of them below]

<Services>
  <Service>
    <Type>Microsoft.Office.Access.Server.MossHost.AccessServerWebService, Microsoft.Office.Access.Server, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c</Type>
    <Name />
    <DisplayName>Access Services 2010</DisplayName>
    <Status>Disabled</Status>
  </Service>
  <Service>
    <Type>Microsoft.Office.SecureStoreService.Server.SecureStoreService, Microsoft.Office.SecureStoreService, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c</Type>
    <Name />
    <DisplayName>Secure Store Service</DisplayName>
    <Status>Disabled</Status>
  </Service>
  <Service>
    <Type>Microsoft.Office.Server.PowerPoint.Administration.PowerPointConversionService, Microsoft.Office.Server.PowerPoint, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c</Type>
    <Name />
    <DisplayName>Microsoft.Office.Server.PowerPoint.Administration.PowerPointConversionService</DisplayName>
    <Status>Disabled</Status>
  </Service>
<Service>
  <Type>Microsoft.SharePoint.BusinessData.SharedService.BdcService, Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c</Type>
  <Name />
  <DisplayName>Business Data Connectivity Service</DisplayName>
  <Status>Disabled</Status>
</Service>
<Services>

To start a service

stsadm -o provisionservice -action start -servicetype Microsoft.SharePoint.BusinessData.SharedService.BdcService

To stop a service

stsadm -o provisionservice -action stop -servicetype Microsoft.SharePoint.BusinessData.SharedService.BdcService

If this is a Web service, IIS must be restarted for the change to take effect.  To restart IIS, open a command prompt window and type "iisreset /noforce".
