Newer versions of Windows introduced the concept of Trigger Start services. <\/p>\n

The idea being that a specific event \u201ctriggers\u201d the startup of a service. In the past the service would have been running, using up resources waiting for that moment when it was needed. Using this newer method means services a dormant until they are actually needed. <\/p>\n

I had a problem with some backup software recently (Veeam). It needs the remote registry service to be running on virtual machine that needs to be backed up. <\/p>\n

For some reason there was one particular server that refuse to backup. I was able to confirm the trigger wasn\u2019t kicking in when attempting to remotely edit the registry. It worked on other servers and I was able to confirm it wasn\u2019t the firewall or anything like that. <\/p>\n

Working with service triggers is a bit of a pain normally though<\/p>\n

You have to do it via the command line using the SC command<\/p>\n

\n

e.g <\/p>\n

sc qtriggerinfo remoteregistry<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The title for this post should be a massive clue as to where I\u2019m going with this. <\/p>\n

There is a very useful tool called Service Trigger Editor which you can download for free<\/a><\/p>\n

It lets you work with trigger services in a nice and simple gui. You can edit existing triggers as well as add your own. <\/p>\n

I used the tool on a server that was working ok and replicated that on the server that was having a problem. All worked fine after that. <\/p>\n

Triggers services were introduced with Windows 7 and Windows 2008 R2.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
