serivces set to "Automatic" not starting

[Guest SpaceMarine]

hello,

 

i am not a Windows admin, but i am trying to do some general research.

one of our win 2003 servers has some in-house services running on it.

they are set to start as "Automatic". however, sometimes on reboot

they dont start.

 

what sort of things could prevent a service from starting?

 

 

thanks,

sm

The Event Viewer will probably tell you.
