I am installing Windows XP Pro and automating the setup, I have found most
things in the registry, but the settings for this next step are eluding me.

Via the keyboard and mouse and GUI, I can start the "services" snap-in for
MMC and perform the following customisations
Right-click the "SNMP Service" and choose properties.
Select the Recovery tab
Set the "First failure" dropdownlist to "Restart the Service"
Set the "Second failure" dropdownlist to "Restart the Service"
Set the "Subsequent failure" dropdownlist to "Restart the Service"
Set the "Rest failure count" to "1" day
Set the "Restart service after" to "5" minutes

How can I automate these settings from a script/batch file?

Thanks

Bob

Hi,

SC.exe and it's Failure parameter maybe:

How do I configure service recovery on remote computers?
http://www.jsiinc.com/SUBM/tip6300/rh6385.htm

Note that the above is relevant not only for remote computers,
but for local computer as well.

Also note that the article above mentions that you can do this
Recovery configuration with a registry file as well.
