One of the services listed is Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPWebService, Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c Because this is a SharePoint service, you could use any of the following as values for the servicetype parameter:
If the service is not a SharePoint service, the value must be an assembly qualified service name, such as the example provided in the third bullet of the previous list. | ||
servicename |
A valid service name, such as "SPAdmin" |
No |
The name of the service to provision. If the enumservices operation is run, the service name for each service is listed in between <Name></Name> XML tags. If the service's name is null, then it will just have a <Name /> XML tag. If the service has a null service name, you do not need to include this parameter and value. If the service has a service name, you need to include this parameter and value. |
Examples
To stop the SPWebservice, use the following syntax:
stsadm -o provisionservice -action stop -servicetype SPWebservice
After the operation is completed successfully, the following message is displayed:
"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.
Once the operation has completed successfully, the following message should be displayed:
