🎁 Welcome to 25 days of QlikMas! Each day I'll unwrap one quick Qlik Sense server admin lesson you can learn in under fifteen minutes. Today, you'll learn how to automate stopping Qlik Sense services with PowerShell safely and in the correct order every time.

I walk you through building a PowerShell script that stops all required Qlik Sense services, detects bundled vs. standalone PostgreSQL, and confirms exactly which services were stopped. This approach is perfect for upgrades, backups, and regular maintenance, helping you reduce errors and save time with automation.

📅 Come back tomorrow for Day 16 of QlikMas for more Qlik Sense admin tips and insights!
