Hi all,

I have fresh installation of MS CRM (Win2003 Server Std, MSSQL2000 all
latest patch - well 3a for SQL) and have set the Microsoft CRM Security
Service to start automatically. However after a reboot the service fails
to start.

It starts without problems when i do it manually. Anybody cama acrosss a
similar issue ?

Here is the error in the event log

----------------------------------------------------------

If SQL is on the same machine then the security service needs sql to be
started before it can. Can you start the security service manually?

I have the same issue as Leo and yes SQL is on the same server as CRM. I get
a service failed to start message after reboot related to the CRM security
service. And yes I can start it Manually and everything runs fine. Just
wondering if there is a way to delay the security service so that it waits
for the rest of the server to catch up?

On the CRM server Goto start->run and then browse to the
CRMSecurityService.exe which is in your MSCRM Bin directory then type -u
after it in the run box and click OK. This will unregister the service.

Then do the same, this time typing -s -r after it. This will register it
and also make it dependent on SQL starting before it fires up - which is
usually the reason it does not start. The other option is to change the
settings for the service so that it tries to start a couple of times before
issuing an error.
