Can't Restart Machine Managed Service

Thread needs solution

I had a backup job that was out of control (we didn't catch that it was running for a week [original issue is with the LAN], and it could not be stopped) so I made the mistake of stopping mms.exe.

Now the acronis machine managed service won't start. This is a 2008 r2 server. Should I reinstall as recommended here:

Ok, I am doing a repair install of the acronis management console. I will post the results.

The repair install worked. I extracted the files and then ran the managed console installer msi, and chose repair install. Even though it said that I should reboot, I did not have to reboot.

Hi Justin,
thank you for sharing your experiences.
Does everything work as expected now?
Thank you.

Yes, we never reboot servers. So a reboot fixed the issue.
