Start the Management Server

If the Management Server does not start automatically, you must start it.

If the Management Server has been installed as a service, it starts automatically both after the installation and during the operating system boot process. In Windows, the Forcepoint NGFW Management Server service is controlled in the Services window, under the Administrative Tools category of the Windows Control Panel.

Steps

Start the Management Server manually.
  • In Windows, use the shortcut icon or run the script <installation directory>/bin/sgStartMgtSrv.bat.
  • In Linux, run the script <installation directory>/bin/sgStartMgtSrv.sh.

Next steps

When the Management Server has successfully started, start the Management Client.
