Start a Service Instance

Solution: Use the Get-SPServiceInstance cmdlet to assign a variable the results using the -Identity parameter, and then use Start-SPServiceInstance using that variable.

The Start-SPServiceInstance cmdlet starts the specified service on the current server. You can provide the identity directly to the cmdlet or use a variable, as shown in Listing 6.9.
