Using Win 2003 Small Business Server with 14 clients. When logged on to the
server box as the admin, I cannot stop/restart services. Each time I try,
it appears that it works (I get the messages "Stopping Service..." and the
progress bar, but it then fails sto stop the service.

I searched on-line but couldn't find any reference to this behavior. Is
this a known issue with Win2003 SBS ? I thought that logged on as the
Admin, I should be able to do that. Do I have to do something special to
gain that privilege?

Re: Win2003 SBS - Can't Sop Services

Some dependency probably failed. What service? What dependants and
predecessors does it have?

Re: Win2003 SBS - Can't Sop Services

Thanks for the promt post. A couple of them fail, but the one that fails to
stop/start all the time is MySQL. The only way to stop/restart it is by
booting into safe mode, stop it or start it and then reboot in mormal mode.

Re: Win2003 SBS - Can't Sop Services

I don't use MySQL but am quite familiar with SQL Server. What dependants and
predecessors does the service have? Can you manage it from the console
tools? It may take some time to roll back whatever is happening at the time
you're trying to kill it. Might be some blocking or long running queries,
etc. going on.

I don't believe MySQL is a native SBS application, but SQL is. Any reason
why the decision was made to use this vs the free SQL version on SBS?

Also, as Dave mentioned, something may be accessing MySQL that is forcing it
to run. How was it setup and what apps or scripts are using it?

I also cross-posted this to the SBS newsgroup for more specific exposure,
since after all this is SBS and SBS has numerous differences than regular
Windows 2003. Let's see if anyone there has something to offer that we may
overlook. Just check back to this thread for responses since the follow-ups
are set to send to all groups you originally cross-posted to.

(Cross posted to microsoft.public.windows.server.sbs with follow-ups set to
both.)

Re: Win2003 SBS - Can't Sop Services

MySQL is not native.

That's been added by something else.

Yes, we know. You'll need to look in the server.general or server.networking
to see my earlier reply.

Re: Win2003 SBS - Can't Sop Services

True, it's not native it was added by a software package that needs it, but
the question is why is it that "all of a sudden" it cannot be stopped?
(worked fine for about 8 months after the installation of the software
package that uses it). I am looking at the other suggestions posted here, to
see if I can decipher this problem.

Thanks,
Chris

Re: Win2003 SBS - Can't Sop Services

Okay so what service added it? Let's track back to the underlying
program that installed it?

Re: Win2003 SBS - Can't Sop Services

I just got an opportunity to check into it.... No dependencies are listed.
Also, when I try to pause it, I get the error message...

"Could Not pause the MySQL service on the Local Computer. The service Did
not return an error. This could be an Internal Windows Error or an internal
Service Error. If the problem persists, contact your system administrator."

You might try reinstalling your application. You might also try asking them
here.
