We recently installed a vendor product on a Win2K server
and have the product's processes start as services.
However, these services must be running before W3SVC can
begin. How can I add these vendor services and
dependencies to W3SVC?

Thank you.

Hello,

You can use Ideal Administration from www.pointdev.com - This tool allows
to easily manage the service dependencies (remove/add). use the right
button click on your server name (automically display in the list), select
"Services", select W3SVC, select the "Dependencies" tab and add your
service, click on Apply. Restart to verify if this is ok.
