Service control and activation
In order to access service control and activation for a given Verba server follow these steps:
Step 1 - Select Administration / Verba Servers menu item (requires System Administrator rights for your user)
Step 2 - Click on the row of the server you want to manage (in your system there might be only one server)
Step 3 - On the server configuration page you will find the Service Control and the Service Activation tabs
Service Activation
Under the Service Activation tab, the startup type of the Verba services can be set. The configuration of the not activated (disabled startup type) services won't be shown under the Change Configuration Settings tab.
The following table describes the available features for the services:

 | Automatic service startup | Sets the startup type of the service to automatic. |
| Manual service startup | Sets the startup type of the service to manual. |
| Delayed service startup | Sets the startup type of the service to delayed. |
| Disable service | Disables the service. Disabling a service will turn off the corresponding configuration settings as well. |
| Enable service | Enables the service and sets the startup type to automatic. Enabling a service will turn on the corresponding configuration settings. |
