  1. Open Windows Task Manager.
  1. Click the Services tab.
  1. Click Services.
  1. In the Services window, right-click Intrepid RPM Adapter and selectStart.

Method 2 – Start the Service Using the HTTPS Protocol

  • Using the Microsoft Management Console you obtained the thumbprint needed for starting the adapter service in secure mode using the https protocol.
  1. Open Windows Task Manager.
  1. Click the Services tab.
  1. Click Services.
  1. In the Services window, right-click the Intrepid RPM Adapter.
