Martin Pitt, thanks for the quick follow up.

I wasn't aware of the systemd support status for <=Utopic. If I knew that, I would have just figured out how to do it via upstart. However, this is now documented in:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SystemdForUpstartUsers

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Running x11vnc via systemd inactive (dead) in Utopic, not Vivid

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  This report is requesting a backport of I'm guessing systemd patches
  that are applied to and work in Vivid, to Utopic (and Trusty if
  applicable).

  What is expected to happen in Utopic is when one utilizes systemd to start x11vnc upon a reboot as per the below procedure it works like it does in Vivid: 
  sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/x11vnc.service
  #START
  [Unit]
  Description=Start x11vnc at startup.
  After=multi-user.target

  [Service]
  Type=simple
  ExecStart=/usr/bin/x11vnc -loop -auth guess -rfbauth /home/moniker/.vnc/passwd -rfbport 5900 -forever -nevershared -repeat

  [Install]
  WantedBy=multi-user.target
  #END

  sudo chmod u+x /etc/systemd/system/x11vnc.service
  sudo systemctl daemon-reload
  sudo systemctl start x11vnc.service
  sudo systemctl status x11vnc.service
  x11vnc.service - Start x11vnc at startup.

  sudo nano /etc/default/grub

  Change:
  GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

  to:
  GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash init=/bin/systemd"

  save, close, execute:
  sudo update-grub && sudo reboot now

  and upon restarting, the x11vnc service is active.

  Instead, when one restarts, and checks the status it notes:
  x11vnc.service - Start x11vnc at startup.
     Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/x11vnc.service; disabled)
     Active: inactive (dead)
