help me with an issue please.
My windows service depended on MS SQL server, and It has to load some information on start up, but it is starts before MS SQL and stops with an exception. I set dependency with a “sc” tool (sc config MyService depend= MSSQL) but my service still does not start on system load. MS SQL added as depednecy, I can see it in dependency tab of service properties and sc qc MyService command but my service still does not start. Can anyone help? My system is Win7, MS SQL Server 2008 R2, my service runs under local system and MS SQL is network service. Thanks a lot.
P.S. Sorry for poor English.
I think you should use dependencies
How to delay loading of specific services
or use “Automatic (Delayed Start)” option for your service Please read
WS2008: Startup Processes and Delayed Automatic Start
or
You can manage this through programming logic, that if resource is unavailable
repetitively check for it and when its available proceed for normal operation,
and you can intimate Service Client though appropriate response
Hopes that helps
