SUMMARY
Some services (such as NetLogon, Server, and Workstation) have the option of being paused or stopped. You may expect that no connections would be effected when you pause a service, but there may be other consequences. Details on the effects of pausing a service are not included in the System Guide.
MORE INFORMATION
For example, when you pause the Server service, the results are:
- It does not affect the connections of the existing users.
- It does not allow new connections to the server for users with user level privilege even if you have an established session to this server before the server was paused.
- It allows new connection to users who are members of the DomainAdmins, Administrators, and Power Users groups.
The behavior of a service when it is paused depends on the service, but mostly revolve around granting special privileges to accounts belonging to privileged groups.
