Re: Who or What is Stopping a Service?

Process Explorer is a really, really cool program, but unless I'm
missing something it has no way of logging activity - it appears to be
realtime only.

If I get into the office at 9am and find that the service was shut
down at 7am it does not look like it will help me.

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,
