Managing Services in Windows

The System Services page is displayed when clicking on the System Services link on the Services tab of the Container dashboard. It presents the table reflecting those services inside your Container that you can manage. The table provides the following information:

Column Name	Description
Name	The name of the service running inside your Container.
Status	Indicates whether the service is running or not.
Startup Type	Indicates whether: The service is started automatically on the Container startup; The startup type of the service is set to `SERVICE_DISABLED`; The service can be launched only manually.
Logon as	Indicates the user account (the `LocalService` account, the `NetworkService` account, etc.) that was used to start the service.

You can perform the following operations on any service in the table:

Stop the service by selecting its checkbox and clicking on the Stop button. Only running services are subject to this action.
Restart the service by selecting its checkbox and clicking Restart. Only running services are subject to this action.
Start the service by selecting its checkbox and clicking on the Start button. Only stopped services are subject to this action.
Open the Services Details page to enable/disable the autostart feature by clicking on the name of the service in the Name column.

To facilitate working with Container services, you may have the System Services table display only those services that have a particular name, startup type (automatic, manual, disabled), are in a certain state (running or stopped), or were started by a certain user. On top of the table, press the Show Search link to display the fields where you can specify the parameters your services should meet; then click on the Search link. To view all the services currently running inside your Container, click on the Reset Results link to the right of the Search link. You can have Parallels Infrastructure Manager display only those parameters you need at the moment. To show or hide certain columns, click the Select Columns link and select the parameters you want to be displayed or clear those you do not.

Note: If you have just started the Container and opened the Services page, not all the services may have had enough time to start. Wait a little and refresh the page to update the state of the services.
