What did you do?

I run this command:
go test -v -run=TestNetworkSymbolicLink os

What did you expect to see?

=== RUN TestNetworkSymbolicLink
--- PASS: TestNetworkSymbolicLink (0.02s)
PASS
ok os 0.316s

What did you see instead?

=== RUN TestNetworkSymbolicLink
--- FAIL: TestNetworkSymbolicLink (0.01s)
os_windows_test.go:482: The Server service is not started.
FAIL
exit status 1
FAIL os 0.201s

I stopped the "Server" service before running the test.
