Services not starting after a reboot

BE 20, Feature Pack 3, Hotfix 100044342

Following a server reboot, some Backup Exec services are not starting up despite being set to Automatic startup.
This has happened twice now, once with the services set to log on as the BackupExec service account and once as Local System.

Services failing to start are:
Backup Exec Agent Browser
Backup Exec Device & Media Service
Backup Exec Job Engine
Backup Exec Management Service
Backup Exec Server

I have to start these manually which is not good as there are backups schedulled to run which are waiting and decaying backup window times.

    Seems this is the fix:

    1. Run regedit
    2. Locate the following registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control
    3. In the right pane, locate the ServicesPipeTimeout entry.

    ** If the ServicesPipeTimeout entry does not exist, you must create it with a DWORD value of Decimal 120000

    4. Restart the computer.
