Site Server - Task Service: "Installed, inactive"

  • 1.  Site Server - Task Service: "Installed, inactive"

    Posted Feb 06, 2020 11:40 AM

    Hi there

    We're running SMP 8.1 RU4 and I've just had to setup a new site server for one of our sites as the old site server was on Server 2008 R2 and needed to be retired.

    The new site server is on 2012 R2.  Having battled at length to get get the IIS pre-reqs setup and the right .NET version installed (server kept auto updating via Windows update to 4.8), I finally got the SMP console to allow me to install the Task Service.  It also has the Package Server role.

    However...  Although now the Task Servic is apparently installed, it's showing in the console as "Installed, inactive".  I've no idea why.

    Any ideas please?
