Stop and Start SharePoint 2010 Services
In my Laptop with Windows 7, I’ve SharePoint 2010 Installed for my tryouts. I use it whenever I’m out of network connectivity.
Problem is: Not quite frequently I use SharePoint from my laptop, but SharePoint services start automatically when I turn on my laptop and eating up my resources especially RAM. (SharePoint is resource hungry! Huh.)
What I want is: Stop all SharePoint services and start only whenever I require them. I used run a batch file (or we can go to Services console) to stop SharePoint, SQL Server and IIS Services. Here is my batch file.
Stop SharePoint services
@echo stopping SharePoint 2010 services
REM SharePoint 2010 Administration
net stop SPAdminV4
REM SharePoint 2010 Timer
net stop SPTimerV4
REM SharePoint 2010 Tracing
net stop SPTraceV4
REM SharePoint 2010 VSS Writer
net stop SPWriterV4
REM SharePoint Server Search 14
net stop OSearch14
REM SharePoint Foundation Search V4
net stop SPSearch4
REM SharePoint 2010 User Code Host
net stop SPUserCodeV4
REM IIS
iisreset /stop /noforce
REM World wide Publishing
net stop w3svc
REM SMTP service
net stop smtpsvc
REM SQL Server
net stop MSSQLSERVER
@pause
Start SharePoint Services:
@echo starting SharePoint 2010 services
REM SharePoint 2010 Administration
net start SPAdminV4
REM SharePoint 2010 Timer
net start SPTimerV4
REM SharePoint 2010 Tracing
net start SPTraceV4
REM SharePoint 2010 VSS Writer
net start SPWriterV4
REM SharePoint Server Search 14
net start OSearch14
REM SharePoint Foundation Search V4
net start SPSearch4
REM SharePoint 2010 User Code Host
net start SPUserCodeV4
REM IIS
iisreset /start
REM World wide Publishing
net start w3svc
REM SMTP service
net start smtpsvc
REM SQL Server
net start MSSQLSERVER
@pause
SharePoint 2013 services can be stopped and started using PowerShell also: How to Stop and Start All SharePoint 2013 Services using PowerShell?
Later, I found a nice utility in Codeplex (https://sharepointserviceman.codeplex.com/) to do the same: SharePoint 2010 Service Manager You can download it below:
In addition to All SharePoint related services, this utility also provides an option for disabling them on Start up.
