Also a quick workaround may be the following: 1) Change Bacula File Server service startup type to be Manual instead of Automatic. 2) Then in a batch file in the startup folder of user issue a net start "Bacula File Server" However this may not work if the logged in user does not have permissions to start/stop services.
