title: Windows server dependencies
body: <p>I have an application which has 3 services which are dependent on SQL server.</p>
  
  <p>The database used by my application is present in another machine(different from machine where i have the 3 services).</p>
  
  <p>These 3 services are dependent services for SQLserver.</p>
  
  <p>I have established an ODBC Connection with my DB in remote machine and my services are running fine.</p>
  
  <p>Now i terminate or stop the SQLserver in the machine where my services are running. Since my services are dependent services windows will stop my services also.</p>
  
  <p>Question1: Is it possible for me to remove the dependency from services.msc for my services from properties of sqlserver.</p>
  
  <p>Question2: Suppose i remove the dependency for my services and that i killed sqlserver exe will my services continue to work with the DB which is in a remote machine.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
