Thanks, Brian Desmond [email protected] c – 312.731.3132 -----Original Message----- From: Bonner, John [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, April 13, 2010 3:15 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Web Service Waiting for SQL Server Hello Admins, I know this may be a simple questions for you guys but I'm a developer so my knowledge is not as robust. Our web server has a service that relies on communication with SQL server. If it doesn't see the SQL box Sitescope alarms as the service is not started. Now this is fine and dandy except during maintenance windows when the servers get rebooted and the web server comes up before the SQL box does. I know I could have Sitescope attempt to start the service but I was wanting to be more proactive and have Sitescope be the backup. So I was hoping there might be a configuration / dependancy I could specify on that service to not ATTEMPT it's first start until a check verifies SQL is up. Since I know this is not a new problem I figured there must be a tried and true method for handling this scenario?
