Hello,
I have a 2003 server R2 SP2.
The server service without warning stopped and would not start again. When I
tried to restart the Server service I would get a warning that one of the
dependent services has been marked for deletion. Another admin in my team
went into the registry and removed msicsci as a dependent service for the
server service. What is:msicsci? And will removing the msicsci from the
dependent list for server service be a long term fix?

Thanks
 
Re: Server service and msicsci

That service is for the iSCSI initiator for connections to iSCSI disks.
Typically, one might add that dependency so that fileshares don't disappear
on reboot. See the following KB article for more details:
