SCOM 2007 R2 - Restart HealthService
Good afternoon everyone!
Earlier this week I had a issue where my RMS server was offline...not emailing out....and grayed out in the windows computer health view. To get it responding again I opened the Health Explorer for the RMS and in when I clicked the error...in the STATE
EVENT CHANGES pane there was a link to restart the health services. I clicked it and the server began responding and all is well.
My question is this:
Where can you restart this other than that place? I went back there now and there is no link for restarting HEALTHSERVICE. I assume that the link appears only when it was down. is there another place to restart this service? I dont
see it as a windows service.
Please help!
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
The link you are talking about is defined in the core System Center management packs. If you could find the name of the monitor that changed to a critical state then I will look it up...
But, if you want to restart the healthservice without using this link, you have a couple of options:
1. Using Services.msc - restart the "System Center Management" service
2. Using a command prompt - type: net stop healthservice && net start healthservice
BTW, ordinarily you should not need to restart this service, it should definitely not be a regular occurrence.
