Damien 0 Report post Posted August 2, 2011 Hi guys, we are upgrading our sql server (sitting on another server, not on the sccm box), and i just wanted to know how and what services needed to be stoped in the SCCM server. Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trevor Sullivan 19 Report post Posted August 2, 2011 Can you just shutdown the SCCM server and bring it back up after the upgrade (not sure what might change during the upgrade, since you didn't specify exactly what upgrade is happening -- OS, service pack, SQL version?) Hope this helps. Cheers, Trevor Sullivan http://trevorsullivan.net http://twitter.com/pcgeek86 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peter van der Woude 143 Report post Posted August 3, 2011 You could also use preinst.exe /stopsite (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb680827.aspx), which is made to stop all SCCM related services. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sayeed Master 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2014 Using the preinst command is bad advice. It partially resets the site and flags services for reinstallation. Not good! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peter van der Woude 143 Report post Posted May 20, 2014 It's not a bad advice, because you are changing something in the environment. By doing this the proper way it will stop the site and after the SQL change it will reinstall some components with the correct configuration. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
