Stopping PVS Stream Service can Render Target Devices Unresponsive

We as Citrites (Citrix employees) are encouraged to write KB articles for the Citrix knowledgebase (support.citrix.com). The following article I’ve written when I came across the issue and saw it wasn’t documented.

When stopping the Stream Service on a given Provisioning Server it can render some (but not all) target devices connected to that particular server unresponsive since the failover to other servers does not occur.

If you look at the stream process log (which can be found on the PVS server in C:ProgramdataCitrixProvisioning Serverlogs), you may find these entries:
