Tried that as well.  Disabled Print Spooler, which the Fax Service
depends on and tried starting the Fax Service, got the dependency error
but no batch file.  I have echo on and a pause at the end to keep the
batch window open when it runs for testing purposes.

maybe disable a dependent service then reboot?  or if you can't afford a
reboot maybe stop your service, stop and disable a dependent service,
then restart your service which should fail.
