Any reason for "Management Reporter 2012 Process Service" and "Microsoft Dynamics 365 Unified Operations: Batch Management Service" to be set to disabled on a new environment

I created a new Cloud Hosted Dev machine the other day.

I was having trouble with it and found that these two essential services:

"Management Reporter 2012 Process Service" and

"Microsoft Dynamics 365 Unified Operations: Batch Management Service"

were set to disabled on a new environment.

That is not a setting I made.

Any reason they would be set like this?

    Hi Jim,

    Out of the box there is no policy or registry setting which disables it. I think it might be indeed related to a failed deployment. Next time when performing an update, I will try to let it fail and check the state of these services.

    Thanks André,

    I wonder if some registry setting or group policy is set on the machine to force those into a disabled state.

    Do you or anyone else reading this know of that?

    HI Jim,

    During a deployment, the services will be stopped. I was not aware if this would be in a disabled state. I never checked that. You might be right that it is caused by a failed deployment of a package.

    What's more... I remove them from being disabled.. and they go back to being disabled when I next login to the machine after an unsucessful deployment package application.

    Hello Andre,

    It is a cloud hosted dev environment.

    10.0.31 with a DEVTEST topology for Finance and Operations.

    Hi Jim,

    I haven't recently deployed a new VM myself. Did you deploy a cloud hosted environment or a local VHD? What is the exact version?

    I can think of a performance related reason for developers. By having these services disabled, there are more resources free for the developer. Anyway, if you need them, you can enable these services.
