Hii, Use process explorer
[http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/ProcessExplorer.html] to view &
diagnose the services and other active programs and which programs are using
which files resources n services. so viewing on few program shd help u find
out which program is trying to stop the service.

I'm an admin for some Windows Server 2003 boxes and after some recent
changes (which backing out really is not an option), I'm finding that
on /some/ mornings one of the services mission-critical to the boxes
has been stopped.

The event log reveals that the service is being stopped on request, so
the feature for automatically restarting services does not help us.

I'm looking for a way to figure out what process - hopefully by EXE
name (and account if possible) is requesting this service to stop.

Any suggestions to help with this detective work?


Thanks,
-Brad
