Question:
Marian has just installed her first Windows 2000 Server. The core hardware in the server is a 1Ghz processor with 1GB of RAM and a RAID-5 stripe set. When Marian logs into the server for the first time, she receives an error message, stating that the dependency service has failed to start. She then reboots the machine and receives the same message at the next logon. What do you suspect is the cause of the problem?

Option A):
The server's hard drive controller is not on the HCL.
Option B):
Marian has installed the Windows 2000 Server as domain controller in an existing Windows NT 4.0 domain.
Option C):
The server service failed to start because of a naming conflict.
Option D):
The network card is not configured properly.

Correct Answer is Option D):
The network card is not configured properly.

Explanation:
Typically when the "Dependency Service" fails to start, it is a clue that the network card has failed. After the installation, this message can mean that either the network card has the wrong driver or it isn't working at all. This message is a way of saying that all services depending on the network card have failed because the network card isn't present.
