Restarting servers

Some configuration changes do not take effect until the associated server is restarted. Therefore, some configuration problems can be solved by stopping and restarting the associated server. For example, when you change AD Domain settings, you need to restart the CIFS server.

Table: Commands to start and stop servers shows commands you can use to start and stop Access Appliance servers.
