GridLink Utility:
Controller Service Management Features

The user can remotely install, uninstall and manage GridLink service on the farm from a central location. Please note that the user needs to have the administrator's right on the servers. The user can perform the following actions under "Service" menu.

• Install Service

To install the controller service on a server, the user needs to specify the installation path, and a user account under which the service will be run.

• Uninstall Service

To uninstall the controller service.

Please note that this will remove all files installed on the server. If you want to upgrade the controller service, please do not uninstall it. Otherwise, you will lose the historical job history, even the Farm Profiles if this is a Profile Host.

• Upgrade Service

If the user has already installed GridLink service on a server and wants to upgrade the version, he/she can use "Upgrade Service" instead of "Install Service" to make this process easier. The utility will not ask the user to provide the installation path and the service account information. It simply uses the existing information.

• Change Service Account

To change the controller service account user name and/or password.

• Check Service Status

To check the status of the controller service.

• Start/Stop/Restart Service

To start/Stop/Restart the controller service.
