I have a need to configure a specific service via Group Policy to 'Automatic (Delayed Start)'. I know this is usually configurable via Computer Configuration\Preferences\Control Panel Settings\Services\, but having tried that on a Windows 2008 based Domain Controller, the setting doesn't seem to be available. It only has the standard 'Automatic' and not the option of 'Automatic (Delayed Start)'.
I had wondered if this was a feature that had only been added in Windows 2008 R2 (which these servers are not), but having had a look in the Help files on my Windows 2008 DC it even makes mention of delayed start being available to configure on that options screen.
Any suggestions?
