Restart the TaskCentre services

Written by Andrei Mogosanu

You may need to restart the TaskCentre services if tasks have stopped running or users can't log in.

TaskCentre uses two Windows services: Access TaskCentre Service (the main service) and Access TaskCentre Schedule Agent (which allows tasks to run on a schedule). Follow these steps to start them:

  1. Log in to the server running TaskCentre.

  2. Open Control Panel, then open Administrative Tools.

  3. From within Administrative Tools, double-click Services.

  4. Find the service named Access TaskCentre Service.

  5. Right-click the service and select Start. If it is greyed out, the service is already running.

  6. A progress bar will appear and close automatically when the service is running. 'Running' will show in the status column.

  7. Repeat steps 4 to 6 for the Access TaskCentre Schedule Agent service.

If you need to restart the services regularly, set them to start automatically following these steps:

  1. Log in to the server running TaskCentre.

  2. Open Control Panel, then open Administrative Tools.

  3. From within Administrative Tools, double-click Services.

  4. Find the service named Access TaskCentre Service.

  5. Right-click the service and select Properties.

  6. Change the Startup Type to Automatic.

  7. Click OK to save the changes.

  8. Repeat steps 4 to 7 for the Access TaskCentre Schedule Agent service.
