Default Behavior
The Srv service is a file system driver. If Srv fails to start, the error is recorded into the Event Log. Windows Vista startup proceeds, but a message box is displayed informing you that the srv service has failed to start. At least one service depends on Srv. Therefore I do not recommend you to disable it.
Dependencies
Srv will not start, if the Srv2 service is stopped or disabled.
If Srv is stopped, the Server fails to start and initialize.
