Hi,
This is the closest newsgroup I could find for what I need.
I am looking for a way to specify the timeout for an NT service. Specifically, there are a couple of services that sometimes hang
on startup (COM+ Event System, Task Scheduler) and this causes a massively long bootup (5+ minutes). Worse still, it seems to be
doing this more and more often now. Since I have been unable to identify the cause (especially since it's intermittent), I have
resigned myself to at least alleviate the symptom.
I want to set the timeout to a smaller value so that if they do hang, I don't have to wait forever to get control of my system.
Even if they were critical to the functioning of my system (they are not), I'd rather get control right away so that I can reboot
and try again instead of waiting five minutes to try again.
I've looked everywhere and while I can find the occasional mention of the existence of service timeout values, I can't find any
mention on how to set them.
Can anyone please tell me how I can do this? It's really driving me crazy.
Thanks a lot.
