D365 FO Batch Management Service stopped, failed to start and throwing error 1064

Hello Everyone,

Recently I got an issue from our team that no batch jobs are running from couple of days in one of our Dev box. When I investigated all the configurations are in place but still no batch jobs are executing.

Later I have logged into the RDP and to check the batch service “Microsoft Dynamics 365 Unified Operations : Batch management Service” which was stopped.

Tried to start the service which gave the following error message. And when I checked the event log I didn’t get much useful information.

Afterwards I realized that we have enabled the maintenance mode for enabling new financial dimensions a day back. Thought that it might have been the problem for not starting the batch service.

Then disabled the maintenance mode and the Batch management service was able to start without any issue. So enabled maintenance mode causing the issue to start the batch service.

 To enable or disable maintenance mode in dev box refer here.

Thanks.
