How to start your windows service automatically when server gets restarted

This week, we encountered a strange problem where windows service does not start when the server gets restarted even the startup type of windows service is automatic.

To fix that issue, our team has worked on one approach which I want to share it with you. The approach is -

1. Create a batch file and write following command to start the service

net start service_name

2. Copy the batch file in startup folder (C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp).

So once the server is restarted, the batch file in startup folder gets executed and windows service gets restarted using net start command.
