Reinstall the Workstation Service?

Well, I've done all I can think about and I think I've hit a dead end.

I can not get the workstation service (lanmanworkstation) to start. When I try to start the service manually, either through the service management or cmd > net start lanmanworkstation I get "error 2: cannot find the specified file.

I tried to uninstall and reinstall the client for microsoft via my network connections networks, but he had no observable effect.

If someone knows a way I can reinstall lanmanworkstaion service, I'd be much abliged.

Hi Laharah,

I suggest you try the following steps (ignore the steps that you have already tried).

Step 1: Disable\uninstall the software security, follow the steps mentioned below

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software

Important: Enable\reinstall the back of security software once everything is done. You can check with the manufacturer of software security for the relocation and reactivation.

Step 2: Run SFC (System File Checker) Scan  

The System File Checker (SFC) utility allows administrators to perform an analysis of all protected resources to make sure they are the correct version. Whether SFC should find all incorrect versions in one of these protected resources, SFC will be replaced by the correct versions.

You can still run a SFC scan on the windows vista computer. To run a scan suite SFC as follows:

(a) click Start and in the start search bar type cmd, right-click on the command prompt icon in the box programs and then click Run as administrator.

(b) at the command prompt type sfc/scannow , and then press ENTER.

Step 3: Try to start the services dependencies

 

Workstation service is based on the following services

 

Browser support service

Network store interface service

Computer browser

NET logon

Configuration of remote desktop

Make sure that the above services are started and set to automatic

1. click on start-run, type services.msc, the, click OK.

2. when the Services window loads, go to "Net logon service", double-click on it to open it.

3 make sure that the "Startup Type" says "automatic"and has begun.» If it isn't, use the drop down menu to change.

4. If he once said: "Automatic", then click on the "Recovery" tab in the upper part and replace the line "First failure" "Restart the Service", then click on ""apply ', then OK. "

 Follow the same steps to start other services

Thank you, and in what concerns:

  • The computer hangs when connecting - if the workstation service is enabled.

    Original title: the computer crashes with workstation active service.

    I'm currently under Windows 7 Home Premium.

    I struggled to the login screen where you choose your user name and it says welcome, but nothing happens. Otherwise, my cursor will come back, but I can't do and ctrl-alt-del does not work either.

    I did safe mode, disabled services and isolated the problem to the workstation microsoft service. I understand that this workstation is essential for some components, such as connecting to a network drive, or a network printer.

    Now I have to work with workstation service disabled, and it's very inconvenient for my work. Is there a way around it?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Were there any changes or updates made on the computer before the show?

    Method 1:

    I suggest you run Microsoft Safety Scanner for any malware or spyware infection and check if it helps.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    See also:

    The Microsoft Windows malicious software removal tool helps remove specific malicious software and present on computers that are running Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, or Windows XP

    Note: the Microsoft Safety Scanner expires 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again. The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

    Method 2:

    I suggest to create a new user account and check if the problem persists.

    Create a user profile.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/create-a-user-account

    If the new user profile resolves the problem, you can screw the corrupted profile and re - install the applications and programs.

  • Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit - Workstation service cannot start (mrxsmb.sys)

    Recently, I applied all the patches to my laptop HP 6930p including KB978251.  After the reboot, I was unable to access network shares or use integrated authentication.  A little digging in the case of newspapers found that the workstation service is not started because mrxsmb.sys failed to load.  Due to the number of patches and a few other installs this patch system restore point came out the list of available rollbacks so I uninstalled the update of the control panel and restarted.  No chance after the restart and I checked the mrxsmb.sys file date/time stamp, and it's always the patched version.  Ideas on how to find and manually restore this file back to the previous version?

  • Run the Workstation VMS in Vcenter 5

    Hello

    I'm trying to run a virtual machine in workstation, which is nested within the virtual machine created in Vcenter. I try to start the virtual machine, but get the following message is displayed:

    Running on a virtual machine VMware Workstation requires the external virtual machine is configured to run a VMware ESX guest operating system. You can not power on a virtual machine until the external virtual machine is reconfigured.

    I know that you need to configure a file, but I couldn't see all the documents on the Workstation 7 configuration details.

    Any help is really appreciated. (Workstation VM's linux, Vcenter vm windows 2003)

    Kind regards

    Older versions of workstation have a conflict between the of the VMware Tools on the level of comments and libraries of VMware Tools on the level of the host.  Ideally, you do want to run both on the external virtual machine, since it is the guest of the physical machine and a host of nested virtual machines.  With Workstation 7, it was not possible.

    The monitor_control option I suggested earlier will disable VMware Tools comments for external virtual machine level.  However, it seems that you have installed, which will pose problems for VMware Tools at the level of the host.

    You should put off the virtual computer, remove the monitor_control option, turn on the virtual machine, uninstall VMware Tools, power off the virtual computer, add the monitor_control option, turn on the virtual machine and reinstall the workstation.  Then, I think that things should work.

    10 workstation doesn't have these problems.

    Hello

    Error code 80070490 claims a repair upgrade install, not an uninstall and clean reinstall.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/Windows-Update-error-80070490

    If you receive the Windows Update 80070490 error, it means that a file (CBS Manifest) that is needed to install updates is corrupt. To correct this problem, you will need repair Windows. Repair Windows will not damage your personal files or the programs that are installed on your computer.

    Have you tried the other option for system update readiness tool in the link I just gave you?

    The System Update Readiness Tool for Windows can correct some conditions that cause Windows Update 80070490 error. You can access and run this tool by reading this Knowledge Base article on the Microsoft Web site.

    And you need a DVD of Vista from Microsoft to do a repair installation upgrade according to the instructions, NOT the normal manufacturer's recovery disks.

    You will need to borrow a Microsoft Vista DVD from a friend or working knowledge.

    Here's how a repair upgrade installation:

    "How to perform a repair for Vista Installation"

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-Vista.html

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    And if you can't get a loan from a Vista DVD from Microsoft, you may need to do a reinstall of Vista:

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

    Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

    If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.
