Stop back-end services on web front ends

By default, every install leaves the Aurea Social backend services running on all servers in the farm, even the web front ends.

  1. From Central Administration, go to Application Management > Manage Services on Server, and find these two NewsGator services:
    • NewsGator Social Application Services
    • NewsGator Social Platform Services v2
  2. At the top of the page, click on the Server dropdown and select Change Server.
  3. Choose a web front end server, then stop both of these services.
  4. Repeat for each web front end.
