Start‑SqlDscRSWindowsService

SYNOPSIS

Starts the Reporting Services Windows service.

SYNTAX

Start-SqlDscRSWindowsService [-Configuration] <Object> [-Force] [-WhatIf]
 [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION

Starts the SQL Server Reporting Services or Power BI Report Server Windows service by calling the SetServiceState WMI method with EnableWindowsService set to $true.

This command preserves the current state of the web service. If the Windows service is already enabled, the command proceeds without error (idempotent behavior).

The configuration CIM instance can be obtained using the Get-SqlDscRSConfiguration command and passed via the pipeline.

EXAMPLES

EXAMPLE 1

Get-SqlDscRSConfiguration -InstanceName 'SSRS' | Start-SqlDscRSWindowsService

Starts the Windows service for the SSRS instance by piping the configuration from Get-SqlDscRSConfiguration.

EXAMPLE 2

$config = Get-SqlDscRSConfiguration -InstanceName 'SSRS'
Start-SqlDscRSWindowsService -Configuration $config -Force

Starts the Windows service for the SSRS instance without confirmation.
