LCS: Stuck on Step 3 “Stop script for service model: AOSService on machine:”
While installing a new application package via LCS, I faced an issue where the process was stuck on step 3 (like shown in the screenshot below). No error or failure status was provided and the log was not populated, either.
What happened on step 3?
When I took a look into the runbook, the process wanted to stop the AOS services on a given machine.
On an one-box, the following services should be present:
- World wide web publishing service
- Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations Batch Management Service
- Management Reporter 2012 Process Service
So it seemed like the deployment process had problems with stopping one or more of the services above.
Possible solutions:
Remote to the VM and make sure that there is no Powershell window, or a Powershell ISE, open. Also check whether Visual Studio is running and if so, close it.
It also seems like the Batch service will not always shutdown without error – you could try to kill it manually and restart the deployment.
TLDR:
- Any Powershell / ISE open?
- Any VS open?
- Can the deployment process stop the Batch service?
Hope that will help you. All infos provided without liability – try at your own risk.
