If so... <BR /><BR />What are the failure recovery settings for this service? I would set them perhaps to restart the service after 5 minutes.<BR /><BR />Another option is to create a batchfile to manually start the service and have it run as a scheduled task on startup.<BR />net start <SERVICE_NAME><BR /><BR />Is the service still set to start Automatically (this is the default when creating a service with srvany)? Are there dependent services that the application needs to have running before it will start successfully?</SERVICE_NAME> Fri, 05 Jun 2009 17:15:39 GMT WFHC-WI 2009-06-05T17:15:39Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/windows-server-2003/srvany-exe-hangs-on-machine-reboot/m-p/4433858#M5596 I have an application that is started as a service using srvany.exe. On all my machines apart from one this works perfectly. On one machine, when I reboot the server (the service is set to automatic), the srvany.exe process just sits there after startup doing nothing. If I kill it then start the service from the services panel, the application starts OK.<BR />Any ideas?
