windows_service declare service dependency, Windows Service startup ordering

Chef Infra (archive)
1

Windows service start up ordering can be set like this:

sc config "Some Service" depend= LanmanWorkstation/TCPIP/W3SVC

But the docs: https://docs.chef.io/resource_windows_service.html
And the source: https://github.com/chef/chef/blob/master/lib/chef/provider/service/windows.rb

seem to to indicate that this is not yet supported behavior for the resource.

Does anyone have suggested methods for doing this currently?

I recommend using either execute or powershell_script resource with a guard.
