CMRestAPI does not start during system startup

The CMRestAPI service can fail to start during the Windows startup sequence. In this situation, the Service Control Manager logs an event 7000 with the error "The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion."

This error occurs if the system is underprovisioned causing the loading of the service to exceed the default 30,000 milliseconds, which results in the Service Control Manager terminating the service. To resolve this, assign more resources to the system or increase the startup timeout for services to an appropriate value.

You can find the instructions to change the service timeout on the Microsoft support web page: https://support.microsoft.com.

On the web site, search for the Knowledge Base article "922918" to find "A service does not start, and events 7000 and 7011 are logged in Windows Server...," and follow the instructions.
