Clarification on Windows Service Recovery Actions Settings

I am looking at the recovery actions settings and there are a couple of things that I need clarified.

If I have 0 days as my reset fail count after, and have the following as my actions:

1. Restart the Service - on first failure
2. Restart the Service - on second failure
3. Reboot the Computer - on subsequent failures

Does the fail count get reset on a successful restart of the service?

Does the fail count get reset on the first failure? Hence never having a chance to perform the second or third actions?

On the third successive failure, the computer gets rebooted, the service get started and then fails again; would thi开发者_JS百科s reboot the computer again?

Thanks in advance!

Setting "Reset fail count after:" to 0 means "reset the fail count to 0 after each failure". This effectively disables both the "second failure" and "subsequent failure" actions and you will always get the "first failure" action.

I've tested that fail count on windows XPE. When the service run and I make it fail with "End Process" of the Windows task Manager. I have defined 3 recovery actions:

1. restart service
2. reboot
3. run a program

• On the first "end of process", the service is well restarted. OK.
• On the second "end of process", the compuer is rebooted. OK.
• After the reboot, if I end the process again, it is restarted and if I end it again, the computer is rebooted.

So it seems that this failure counter is reset after every reboot of the computer...

I precise that my fail count is configured to reset after 1 day.
