Order of startup and shutdown of Windows Services

Forum Windows 2000/NT : General Discussion Order of startup and shutdown of Windows Services

General Discussion

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.general (More info?)

I am using Windows 2000 server, I have several Windows Service which get
started
automatically on system reboot.

What order services get started. Is it based on the date/time when service
was created, i.e., if service 1 was created first, service 2 later, order
will be service 1 and service 2. Or, the order is based on name of the
service (Alphanumeric order).

Also, is there a log file/event log which shows the time when services were
started?

Thanks a lot,

Prem

It's according to ServiceGroupOrder and service dependency.

Is there some log file which shows all the services started and which order
they were started. I did not find this information in event log in event
viewer,
