When the Directory Server is not running as a Windows service, you can shut it down from the Enterprise Server Administration user interface: 
	 
 
	  
		- Click 
		  Shut down on the menu on the left-hand side of any Enterprise Server Administration Web page. 
		
- Click 
		  Yes on the confirmation page. 
		
Note: You can leave Directory Server running all the time, whether or not you are using Enterprise Server Administration. You should not shut down Directory Server if servers are started.
