               - Open the Windows Control Panel. 
                  		
               
- Select Services; how you do this differs between Windows operating systems. 
                  		
               
- In the list of services select 
                  		  Micro Focus Directory Server. 
                  		
               
- Click 
                  		  Start. 
                  		
               
Note: You would normally need to do this only if you stopped the Directory Server using the Services dialog. This is because the
               Directory Server is configured at installation time to start automatically when Windows starts.
