How do I debug a ring 3 service that starts before a user logs on?

If you’ll allow that the only stupid question is the on not asked…

I have a service that runs at startup. It is tightly tied to my
protocol driver. I’d like to look at a problem with the startup of its
logging subsystem. I’m used to SoftIce so I don’t have the correct
mindset for using windbg in this situation. I need some pointers.

I assume I use NTSD on the target machine and control it via windbg on
my host?

How do I start NTSD before my service?

What else do I need to know to get started?

Thanks for listening.
