Can the Windows 2000 service recovery options be controlled by Group Policy?
We have one misbehaving service that we would like to configure the service
recovery options for by Group Policy, can this be done?
 
Hi Simon,

The services status is saved in the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services key.

You can run a test machine. Export the registry key of the service before
making the changes. Change teh service recovery options. Then, find the
related service in the registry. Export the registry keys of the service.
Compare the registry and find what's changed in the registry.

Deploy the changes in the Group Policy.

Got it, thanks!
You need to add a FailureActions REG_BINARY value to the registry key.

Cheers,

You need to create a custom administrative template to apply registry
changes such as these which do not have a predefined Group Policy setting.
This article shows you how to create a custom template that allows you to
deploy these changes.
