Default Behavior
The Srv2 service is a file system driver. If Srv2 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 srv2 service has failed to start. At least one service depends on Srv2. Therefore I do not recommend you to disable it.
Dependencies
Srv2 will not start, if the Srvnet service is stopped or disabled.
If Srv2 is stopped, the Srv fails to start and initialize.
