How to verify Windows service dependencies

You can use cmd /k sc qc command to Queries the configuration information for a service

For example from Vista,


H:\>cmd /k sc qc dhcp
[SC] QueryServiceConfig SUCCESS
SERVICE_NAME: dhcp
TYPE : 20 WIN32_SHARE_PROCESS
START_TYPE : 2 AUTO_START
ERROR_CONTROL : 1 NORMAL
BINARY_PATH_NAME : C:\Windows\system32\svchost.exe -k LocalServiceNetw
orkRestricted
LOAD_ORDER_GROUP : TDI
TAG : 0
DISPLAY_NAME : DHCP Client
DEPENDENCIES : NSI
: Tdx
: Afd
SERVICE_START_NAME : NT Authority\LocalService

H:\>cmd /k sc qc dnscache
[SC] QueryServiceConfig SUCCESS

SERVICE_NAME: dnscache
TYPE : 20 WIN32_SHARE_PROCESS
START_TYPE : 2 AUTO_START
ERROR_CONTROL : 1 NORMAL
BINARY_PATH_NAME : C:\Windows\system32\svchost.exe -k NetworkService
LOAD_ORDER_GROUP : TDI
TAG : 0
DISPLAY_NAME : DNS Client
