WS 2008 Service not start after system boot

I got problem when i deploy my software product to WS 2008 and its Windows service whose configuration was set to Automatic and was currently in running mode but after reboot the system it couldn't be started.

Solution: Go to Start->Run type services.msc select the service right click and select properties change Automatic to Automatic (Delayed Start) and press Ok
Next time you will see it in running mode


Configuration Information
  • Automatic ~ With a service in this state, it will start at boot time. Some services, when no onger required, will also automatically stop when not needed. If you find you do not need a ervice, place it into Manual or Disabled.
  • Automatic (Delayed Start) ~ With a service in this state, it will start just after boot time. Some services, when no longer required, will also automatically stop when not needed. If you find you do not need a service, place it into Manual or Disabled.
  • Manual ~ Manual mode allows Windows to start a service when needed. However, very few services will start up when required in Manual mode. If you find you need a service, place it into Automatic.
  • Disabled ~ This setting will stop a service from starting, even if needed. Errors in the Event Viewer will show up complaining of that fact. Some services, while Disabled, will constantly complain. However, this situation is taken care of if placed in Manual. The service descriptions identifies those that should be in Manual vs. Disabled.
  • "Started" ~ A service that either set to Manual or Automatic that is running by default at or shortly after boot time.
  • "Not Started" ~ A service set into Automatic that is not running by default at or shortly after boot time.
