I am not asking how to measure server startup time here. I am wondering if anyone knows of a tool that can measure and show a graph of the startup time and order of all the windows services during system startup.
I saw a software program shown on my local Portland news last week that does this but I am unable to remember what it was called or anything else about it. All I remember is that it was a "tech" news story to help computer users with their computers.
So, I know the software exists and I am trying to find it.
No idea. Have you tried contacting the news station or checking their site? Lots of news orgs put their content online, and even if they don't have it there, they'll have contact info for the reporters on the the different beats - their Technology staffers should be listed and you could call or send an email.
Let us know what it was.
/edit - Using the almighty Google for 'windows services start time graph' the first hit is an article that at the end, mentions BootVislink text. Does that ring a bell?
Is this for a Server or Client machine? Soluto gives you bootup information. I wouldn't put it on a server as yet (is Beta).
I'm concurring with mfinni. What you're probably looking for is BootVis.
Is this what you're looking for :
