AUTOSTART=1 Not to Be Used

I am having an issue with AUTOSTART=1 not working on 2 of my systems.  The system does not start until I open the MMC, interestingly I don't have to manually start the instance, just opening the MMC kicks off the AUTOSTART process.  I opened a ticket with SAP and I was told that AUTOSTART=1 should be not used any more because

Apart from the fact that using Autostart parameter can change the control in the start of the instances, the recommendations of changes

in the service definition are not necessary and  can be dangerous because customer could use versions in other directories that could

change  the security settings and even provoke the instance doesn´t start. This is dangerous and can create more problems in the systems.

Juding from the number of topics on SDN, I see that many people are still using AUTOSTART=1 but what does one use to start an instance after a reboot if we can't use AUTOSTART=1.

So AUTOSTART is now working on the two systems again.  I switched out my DB server and now AUTOSTART works again.   I guess something in the Database Copy procedure in SWPM fixed something.
