Cannot stop DynamicsAxBatch service on computer Dynamics 365 for finance and operations

by

I still like the Idea shared by “Gary Vaynerchuk ” Post ” Document dont create” So I document what I face today and resolved.

 

Today I am facing Project compilation Error in Visual studio output pane, I am struggling to understand Table control, so I can meet the development of my next assignment.  Error was

 

 

 

Severity        Code        Description        Project        File        Line        Suppression State

Error                One or more errors occurred. —> System.InvalidOperationException: Cannot stop DynamicsAxBatch service on computer ‘.’. —> System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The service cannot accept control messages at this time

— End of inner exception stack trace —

at System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController.Stop()

 

When I open Services, I found that DynamicsAXBatch services is in stopping mode and stuck.

 

So I killed the service process with CMD command. “taskkill /f /pid [pid number]”

 

The message already shows the service name. ” DynamicsAXBatch” You can copy it from Service detail dialog.

 

So Open CMD with run as administrator and run the following command and get  pid

 

sc queryex DynamicsAxBatch

 

Now I have IP.

 

And kill the Process Id

 

taskkill /f /pid 5352

 

Now I start the service again.

Project is successfully complied.
