What is the service in question? and did you have it started when turning to automatic?

I have about 10 of these services across my network (old applications waiting on an upgrade, mostly).

The event log is a godsend. I say check the application event log, see if it gives you any indication why that service isn’t starting on it’s own. Then fix that problem.

For example - one of my services randomly crashes due to a log file getting locked - we have to rename / delete the file (it’s 1kb), and restart the service. Works just fine.

Isn’t it so that you’re trying to run regular exe file as a service?

Normaly if the Service starts manually, but not on bootup if set to automatic, there is one or more dependend Service thats not ready during the Startup-Phase.

There are two possibilities:

  1. search for the dependend Services and “tell” the not starting Service to wait for it (somewhere in regestry but I’m not sure where exactly by now, have to search).

  2. Quick and dirty :wink: if you can’t find the Service that it depends of make a batch file like this:

ping 127.0.0.1 -n 300 (around 5 Minutes i guess, you can vary it if is too short)

net start “SERVICENAME” /y

apply this Batch to sheduled Tasks to be executed on startup

Hello my friend,

Check for DELAYED automatic startup - it will wait for other services to start and load last.

from WIKIPEDIA: “Automatic (Delayed) is a new startup type introduced in Windows Vista, that starts the service a short while after the system has finished its booting and initial busy operations, so that the system boots up faster.”

If on XP, you need to create dependencies (as explained here): http://www.petri.co.il/delay_services_in_windows_2000_xp_2003.htm

However, it could be a permissions issue as well (less probable).
