Applies to: Forefront Protection 2010 for SharePoint

To ensure that the Microsoft Forefront Protection 2010 for SharePoint (FPSP) services are fully restarted, it is recommended that you stop and then restart all relevant Microsoft SharePoint and Microsoft Forefront Server Protection services.

To restart services

  1. Open Services Control Manager.

    On Windows Server 2003, click Start, click Administrative Tools, and then click Services.

  2. Stop all relevant Microsoft SharePoint services. Typically, this includes Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Timer, World Wide Web Publishing Service, and all the applications using Microsoft SharePoint Object Model.

  3. Stop all relevant Microsoft Forefront Server Protection services. Typically, this includes the Microsoft Forefront Server Protection Controller, Microsoft Forefront Server Protection Controller for SharePoint, Microsoft Forefront Server Protection Eventing, and Microsoft Forefront Server Protection Mail Pickup services.

  4. Wait for all services to complete shutting down.

  5. Optionally, use Task Manager to end any FPSP processes that are still running.

  6. In Services Control Manager, start the services that were stopped in step 2.

    All Microsoft Forefront Server Protection services will be started when documents are uploaded or downloaded.

Note

If you stop the Microsoft Forefront Server Protection Controller service while SharePoint is running, the SharePoint server does not run correctly and prevents files from being uploaded or downloaded.
