On Windows, the service doesn't show as started until the AR Server is ready to service requests. Once it has finished recording the object relationships, if you refresh the list in the Service Control Manager, it will then show as started.

After selecting the option, I've restarted ARS System Server service. The service will no longer successfully start (at least within an hour or so). It just times out, remaining "Starting". Is this normal behavior? From the Config. Guide... "When you select the check box and restart the server, it records the relationships of all server objects before it accepts connections from clients. Therefore, the first time you restart the server after selecting this option, you will not be able to connect to the server with any client for a period of time, which depends on how many objects are defined on the server. With a large number of objects, such as with an ITSM application installed, this could take as long as an hour or more depending on the performance of the database." Full ITSM/CMDB is installed on a very underpowered server, but I would still assume that the service would successfully start in a normal timeframe and then ARS clients would not be able to connect until the Object Relationships table had completed its updates. Does anyone know if what I'm observing is normal, or if I should assume I've introduced another problem into the environment?
