SUMMARY
=======

Some services (such as NetLogon, Server, and Workstation) have the option of
being paused or stopped. You may expect that no connections would be effected
when you pause a service, but there may be other consequences. Details on the
effects of pausing a service are not included in the System Guide.

MORE INFORMATION
================

For example, when you pause the Server service, the results are:

- It does not affect the connections of the existing users.

- It does not allow new connections to the server for users with user level
  privilege even if you have an established session to this server before the
  server was paused.

- It allows new connection to users who are members of the DomainAdmins,
  Administrators, and Power Users groups.

The behavior of a service when it is paused depends on the service, but mostly
revolve around granting special privileges to accounts belonging to privileged
groups.
