-In most cases, the sqlservr.exe program is only used for troubleshooting or major maintenance. When [!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion](../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] is started from the command prompt with sqlservr.exe, [!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion](../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] does not start as a service, so you cannot stop [!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion](../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] using **net** commands. Users can connect to [!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion](../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)], but [!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion](../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] tools show the status of the service, so [!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion](../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] Configuration Manager correctly indicates that the service is stopped. [!INCLUDE[ssManStudioFull](../includes/ssmanstudiofull-md.md)] can connect to the server, but it also indicates that the service is stopped.
