Ensure services are running

This section provides instructions for ensuring that the required services are running on all servers in the SharePoint farm.

Nintex Workflow installation requires that the following Microsoft Windows and SharePoint services be running.

Microsoft Windows services required:

• SharePoint Administration

• SharePoint Timer Service

SharePoint services required:

• Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web Application (for Web Front End (WFE) servers)

• Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Workflow Timer Service

  Note: On application servers running Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Workflow Timer Service, the Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web Application service can be turned off by following Microsoft’s recommended practices. See Microsoft article 2674684. The Windows PowerShell command listed in the "Resolution" section must be run on a Web Front End (WFE) server that has the Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web Application service running. In addition, we recommend running the IISRESET command and restarting the SharePoint Timer Service after running the Windows PowerShell command.

Nintex Forms installation does not require any services to be running other than those required to run SharePoint.

To ensure that required Microsoft Windows services are running on all servers in the farm

1. On each server, open the Services Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in.

   Note: For instructions on accessing the Services Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in, see the Microsoft TechNet Library at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc772408.aspx.

2. For any required services that are not running, click Start.

To ensure that required SharePoint services are running on all servers in the farm

1. On the Central Administration Home page, click System Settings.

2. Under Servers, click Manage servers in this farm.

   Each server on the farm is listed, along with services running on that server.

3. If required services are not running on a server, go back to the Central Administration Home page, click System Settings, and then click Manage services on this server under Servers.

4. On the Services on Server page, select the server from the Server list to display its SharePoint services.

5. For any required services that are not running, click Start.
