How to Stop and Start All SharePoint 2013 Farm Services using PowerShell?
Prior to SharePoint patching, its a best practice to Stop all SharePoint 2013 and its related services and then start once patching is completed. If you don’t do this, your service pack or patch installation will take longer than its expected.
So what are all the services to be stopped?
• SharePoint 2013 Search Service (OSearch15 – OSearch16 in SharePoint 2016)
• SharePoint 2013 Timer Job (SPTimerV4) • SharePoint 2013 Administration (SPAdminV4)
• SharePoint 2013 Tracing (SPTraceV4)
• SharePoint 2013 VSS Writer (SPWriterV4)
• SharePoint 2013 User Code Host (SPUserCodeV4)
• SharePoint Search Host Controller (SPSearchHostController)
• Forefront Sync Service (FIMSynchronizationService)
• Forefront Service (FIMService)
• World Wide Web Publishing Service (W3SVC)
• Internet Information Services (IIS)
Lets use PowerShell to stop and start all SharePoint services:
Stop all SharePoint 2013 Services, Lets use PowerShell to stop and start all SharePoint services:

Start all SharePoint 2013 Services: After the patching, Use the below script to start all SharePoint services.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 | 1 Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.sharepoint.powershell -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue 2 3 $SharePointServices = ('SPSearchHostController','OSearch15','SPWriterV4','SPUserCodeV4','SPTraceV4','SPTimerV4','SPAdminV4','FIMSynchronizationService','FIMService','W3SVC') 4 5 #Start all SharePoint Services 6 foreach ($Service in $SharePointServices) 7 { 8 Write-Host -ForegroundColor green "Starting $Service..." 9 Start-Service -Name $Service 10 } 11 12 #Start IIS 13 iisreset /start |
Completely Stop or Start SharePoint Farm Services on All Servers: Lets put everything together and make a reusable PowerShell function, which stops or starts all SharePoint related services in all servers of the farm.
