I do not want to have to restart DC's every time I need to restart Websense services, but when I do stop the services then start them up again, the users get default policy permissions. Once the DC's and the Websense server is restarted then policies go back to normal. I have a WS 7.5 installation that does this. I cannot upgrade at this time.
Here is the sequence used to stop services, I am wondering if ALL of these really need to be stopped
net stop "Websense Network Agent"
net stop "Websense Filtering Service"
net stop "Websense User Service"
net stop "Websense Policy Server"
net stop "Websense Policy Broker"
net stop "Websense Policy Database"
net stop "Websense DC Agent"
net stop "Websense Explorer Report Scheduler"
net stop "Websense Information Service for Explorer"
net stop "Websense Log Server"
net stop "Websense Reporter Scheduler"
net stop "Websense Usage Monitor"
Here is the start sequence
net start "Websense Policy Database"
net start "Websense Policy Broker"
net start "Websense Policy Server"
net start "Websense User Service"
net start "Websense Filtering Service"
net start "Websense Network Agent"
net start "Websense DC Agent"
net start "Websense Explorer Report Scheduler"
net start "Websense Information Service for Explorer"
net start "Websense Log Server"
net start "Websense Reporter Scheduler"
net start "Websense Usage Monitor"
