Command and Utility Summary

Net Stop Workstation

Purpose

The net stop workstation command stops the Workstation service.

Syntax

net stop workstation

Comments

Stopping the Workstation service cancels all network connections the

Workstation service is using and logs you off from the network. It also stops

all other services that are running.

Stopping the Workstation service differs from pausing the Workstation

service. Pausing puts the service on hold and suspends any network

connections.

If any protocols were loaded with Demand Protocol Architecture (DPA),

they are unloaded before stopping the Workstation service.

Stopping the Workstation service does not remove software from your

workstation’s memory. LAN Manager Enhanced is a terminate-and-stay-

resident (TSR) program, which means that, when the program stops, it stays

in a computer’s memory. If other TSR programs are loaded into the

computer’s memory, the net stop workstation command may not work.
