It could have been done by someone playing about with the Server Control
control panel applet. If so, it can be corrected easily by going back
there and reversing out of the current situation, i.e. stop the server,
return the settings to "Run as service" and "Start automatically"; then
restart the server.

As a reality check, get them also to check the Services applet (under
Administration Tools) and check whether the service definitions are still
there.
