Delayed Service Start

[Guest Mike]

I want to delay the startup of windows services. I do not want to create

dependencies to do this. I need to be able to start windows services on a

timed delay. It can use another service as a starting point to cascade the

starting of other services. Is there a reg entry that can delay the start of

the service based on the boot time?

 

Thanks

You could set the start mode of this service to "manual", then

create a scheduled task that launches at boot time. It would

invoke this batch file to create a delay of some 300 seconds.

@echo off

ping localhost -n 300 > nul

net start "NameOfService"
