I accidentally stopped a service on a Windows 2003 Server and the progress bar was displayed and moving slowly. &nbsp;Once I realized it's not what I wanted to stop, I hit close. &nbsp;Now the service is displayed as &quot;Stopping&quot; in Windows 2003 service manager. &nbsp;Is it still trying to stop? &nbsp;Is it still running? &nbsp;I don't have any option to stop or start or restart, they are all grayed out. &nbsp;Please let me know ASAP.<br />

Thanks.

Hit Close on the Service Stopping Progress window

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
