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.
