It seems many have chosen to install .NET v4 updates on SBS 2003. When “Microsoft .NET Framework NGEN v4.0.30319_X86” is installed on SBS 2003 the normal state for this service is automatic but not started. This flags an “auto-started services not running” warning in the SBS daily reports. The message reads; “In normal conditions these services should be running. For details it is recommended that you review errors in the Event log related to the service”.
This can safely be ignored, however it can be annoying to see the message in every report. Microsoft has publish a “FixIt” and documentation to configure the warning to be ignored and thus remove it from the daily reports: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2290390
