5.8.1 Determining Which Services Have Started
To inspect which of the services have started, use the services function located in the control panel.
From the task bar at the bottom of your screen, click on the Start button. Select the Settings option. Next, click on the Control Panel icon.
In the Control Panel window, click on the Services icon. The option box displayed looks similar to the one in Figure 76.
Figure 76. Reviewing Bindings
This window shows all services, how they should be started and their actual status.
5.8.2 Using the Event Log
The next step is to investigate the event log to determine whether all the services have started and are functioning properly. The event log is an invaluable source of information that highlights potential problems and guides you in solving them.
Start the Event Viewer by clicking on Start → Programs → Administrative Tools
→Event Viewer.
The Event Viewer is used to display and investigate the event log. The following three figures (Figure 77 on page 104 to Figure 79 on page 105) show the event log displaying errors, the source of an error and the event log after the problem has been corrected and the server has been restarted.
