The LoadOrderGroupDependencies parameter passes a list of load ordering groups that must start before this service starts. The array is doubly null-terminated. If the pointer is NULL, or if it points to an empty string, the service has no dependencies. Group names must be prefixed by the SC_GROUP_IDENTIFIER (defined in the WINSVC.H file) character to differentiate them from service names because services and service groups share the same name space. Dependency on a group means that this service can run if at least one member of the group is running after an attempt to start all members of the group.
