Error 1068: the dependency service or group failed to start

In the event Windows Server fail to start the any services automatically, we basically get the event and subsequently check the status of that service. When we try to start that particular service we often encounter the error "Windows could not start ABC System Service service on Local Computer, Error 1068: the dependency service or group failed to start" Check the pop up below.



Solution is very simple as we first need to check the services on which this service is dependent. Right click on the service click on dependencies tab. Once we know the list of services that are responsible for running our service. We individually need to start those services one by one.
For example.. DFS namespace service is stopped working. right click the service and look at dependencies.
