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