W2K3 Takes time to boot

Hi,

When I try to start HTTP service from my windows service It hangs for 5 min.
This behavior is seen only during system restart . When I installed IIS component. I don't see this behavior. Is there a way to know the drivers getting loaded during boot time and time taken by them to load.

OS: Win2K3 + SP1

Thanks,
Rajesh

 

take a look here: http://tinyurl.com/yq4dtz
Lots of good tools to diagnose stuff for windows.

 

I have looked into links but I coudn't find any tool that logs time taken by the drivers/service to start. One more thing is there any dependency for HTTP service.

Thanks,
Rajesh

 

double click the service and goto the dependency tab.

 

Thanks, I know this information. Basically I want to know is there some undocumented stuff.

This is the problem I am facing. I have written a windows service and my WCF webservice service is hosted in that. During service startup I tried to start "HTTP" kernel service using "StartService" API and it takes 5 min to return and this behavior is observed only during system restart. My windows service is set to automatic startup. Once my system is the "StartService" call doesn't take time to start HTTP service.

 

OK do the below to clarify your issue.

Go into the event logs and (save if you want) then immediately reboot.

Event logs are empty so after reboot only errors since the last restart are listed. Immediately check event logs post event logs here.

Then set the service to Disabled clear the logs once again. Reboot and post these events.

Let us know the differences of the boot time.

Now go into services and start the service. Does it take long to start?

We are assuming all works as it should as you only mentioned the long boot!

Are there other issues.

I would like to see a detailed view of your windows services so please do the below.

Go here D/L WSF and install

Then to run
paste the following 2 lines to the CMD prompt then hit enter twice

C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c "C:\Program Files\Windows Service finder\wsf.exe" >c:\wsf.log
notepad c:\wsf.log

Remember to hit enter before exiting the cmd prompt.

Copy and paste the log back to us.
