Verifying the NMS Platform service is running
When the installation completes, the NMS Platform service starts automatically if the Windows administrator
account under which it is running has the correct privileges. Post-installation, you should verify that the
service is running.
To verify, check the Services dialog box on the physical NMC server. If the service is not running, you must
start it manually.
