To Enable Maintenance Mode

Enable Maintenance Mode or Disable Maintenance Mode is a service that prevents new users from connecting to the server while retaining existing connections. The helps administrators disconnect users gracefully before shutting down the server for maintenance purposes.

The server defaults to Disabled Maintenance Mode unless you enable Maintenance Mode.

If the Mobile Services Manager is in Maintenance Mode it displays this icon:

To enable Maintenance Mode from the Services Console - Management, click on the Enable Maintenance Mode button.

If you don't see the Enable Maintenance Mode button, either make your console window wider, or click on the drop down arrow icon next to the Stop Services button.

You can also change the Enable Maintenance Mode / Disable Maintenance Mode from the Windows Task Manager.
