What is the criteria when modifying an attribute on a service that requires uninstall and reinstall of the Microsoft Service? For example, if a SMTP hout setting is modfied to a running service will the change be dynamically applied?
Hello Rick,
Only a change that would affect the command line which launches the Service (such as Port #) would require uninstall and reinstall mentioned. The Description of the setting at the bottom of the window will typically indicate whether or not the Service even needs to be restarted. Some changes such as logging settings do not require restarting.
