1. The web page will be unavailable during the time between when you stop the service and when the app reinitializes and starts the web server again. And again when you shut down the console and restart the service.
2. All of your statuses get reset, so everything will be green when the app fist starts and then will go through the stages of down-ness all over again. And again when you restart the service. Also means that you get any alerts each time.
3. If you are doing any monitoring of servers in workgroups or other domains, you either have to log in with the account that the WUG service uses to make your changes, or get alerts and false downs from any servers that you don't have admin privileges on.
4. Ultimately, it's a bigger pain in the patoot than configuring your web accounts properly.

Thanks for the replies to my previous question, I am new to the product and
really appreciate the feedback from those who have been using the product; I
find it much more useful then the User's guide (Which is not the best
written, I've seen) or from online FAQ's. However, I will try not to abuse
this forum, too much.
My question today is: I am looking over the option to run WUG as a service,
I read that if it is run as as service, any configuration changes must be
done via the Web Client. I don't want to set up the security to let some
people configure maps via the web, and others only to view it. So what is
to stop me from taking WUG out of Service Mode, when I need to edit a Map
and then returning it to service mode when I am done?
Thanks!
