Service Dependencies

Under most operating systems, the service will start without problems. On some Windows 2000 Server systems, the service may have to wait for some other system services starting before it can start. Otherwise you will see the error message "One or more system services failed to start" on the console after a reboot.

To ensure that the required services have started before Kiwi Syslog Daemon is started, you will need to modify the above registry setting.

How to add service dependencies

·	Uninstall the service from the Manage menu

·	Run RegEdit

·	Locate the section "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Kiwi Enterprises\Syslogd\Properties"

·	Create the new string value of "NTServiceDependencies"

·	Modify the value data to include the list of services that need to start first

·	E.g. "LanmanWorkstation;TCPIP;WMI" (without the quotes)

·	Install the service from the Manage menu

The example above will ensure that the Workstation, WMI (Windows Management Interface) and TCP/IP stack services are running before trying to start the Kiwi Syslog Daemon Service.
