Disable or enable a server

  • Article

 

Applies To: Dynamics CRM 2015

You can use the Servers area to disable or enable a Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server.

Warning

When you disable a server, users cannot access the Microsoft Dynamics CRM application through the server. If the deployment contains only a single server that is running Microsoft Dynamics CRM, users cannot access the application.

Depending on the server roles that are installed, disabling a server stops the following services or server roles:

  • Web Application Server

  • Organization Web Service

  • Help Server

  • Discovery Web Service

  • Deployment Web Service

  • Asynchronous Processing Service

  • Asynchronous Processing Service (maintenance)

  • Sandbox Processing Service

  • Microsoft Dynamics CRM VSS Writer service

Enabling a server that was disabled starts the server role service.

Important

You cannot disable the SQL Server and Microsoft Dynamics CRM Reporting Extensions server roles by using the Deployment Manager disable feature.

Tip

You can implement the procedure described here by using a Windows PowerShell cmdlet. For more information, see Administering Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2015 by using Windows PowerShell.
