EXAMPLE

Start-SPServiceInstance 67877d63-bff4-4521-867a-ef4979ba07ce

This example starts the given service instance on the server.

The service instance GUID is unique to every farm. You can run the Get-SPServiceInstance cmdlet to see the GUID of the service instances and then use the result from the SPServiceInstance cmdlet for other cmdlets.

Parameters

-AssignmentCollection

Applicable: SharePoint Server 2010, SharePoint Server 2013, SharePoint Server 2016, SharePoint Server 2019

Manages objects for the purpose of proper disposal. Use of objects, such as SPWeb or SPSite, can use large amounts of memory and use of these objects in Windows PowerShell scripts requires proper memory management. Using the SPAssignment object, you can assign objects to a variable and dispose of the objects after they are needed to free up memory. When SPWeb, SPSite, or SPSiteAdministration objects are used, the objects are automatically disposed of if an assignment collection or the Global parameter is not used.

When the Global parameter is used, all objects are contained in the global store. If objects are not immediately used, or disposed of by using the Stop-SPAssignment command, an out-of-memory scenario can occur.
