Most often, failure for a service is that it is 'disabled' (instead of
manual or auto) in the services app, or some dependant service is disabled.
This script will tell you about the dependant services for iSCSI. (in
c:\service_dependencies.csv) open in notepad.

Const ForAppending = 8
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objLogFile = _
objFSO.OpenTextFile("c:\service_dependencies.csv", _
ForAppending, True)
objLogFile.Write("Service Dependencies")
objLogFile.Writeline

strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

Set colListOfServices = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * from Win32_Service")

For Each objService in colListofServices
objServiceRegistryName = objService.Name
objServiceDisplayName = objService.DisplayName

Set colServiceList = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Associators of " _
& "{Win32_Service.Name='" & objServiceRegistryName & "'} Where
AssocClass=Win32_DependentService Role=Antecedent" )


If colServiceList.Count = 0 then
objLogFile.Write(objServiceDisplayName) & ", None"
objLogFile.Writeline

For Each objDependentService in colServiceList
objLogFile.Write(objServiceDisplayName) & ","
objLogFile.Write(objDependentService.DisplayName)
Next
objLogFile.WriteLine
End If
Next
objLogFile.Close
