Server service access denied

I can't start the server service. I get "error 5: access denied." My kid surfed some sites with the web filtering off (my fault). Fixed some other major problems, but this one has me stumped. I am the administrator. Any ideas?

HP PC
Pentium 4 1.8 Ghz, 384 MB RAM
Windows XP Pro Version 2002 SP2

Avast home AV, ZoneAlarm Pro, SpywareGuard, Spybot S&D, Ad-Aware

Thanks,

Dan

 

Error 5 is most likely something is not giving you permission ‘no duh’.
make sure you are logged on using an account that has permission to view the shares on the remote computer. ie. is log on an admin still there? “meaning your not a guest on your on pc!”.
1. Kill fire wall, ‘try this frist' !
2 . Change settings in your IE browser to default 'optional'
some small simple things to try w/o messing up more stuff, good luck, hope you get better help then me!!!! cheers jeff

 

For clarity: which server do you mean? Do you mean the 'Server' service listed in the system services? Normally this service starts automatically and you don't have to start it, unless you or windows decided to turn it off first. The startup type for 'Server' should be set to automatic.
As for firewall settings: svchost.exe should always be granted FULL access to everything, else your internet won't work.

 

I can't start the server service. I get "error 5: access denied." Yes the server service. I am the administrator. I've tried turning off all the security. I've also tried everything else I can find. This is the only service I can't start. It is set to automatic but does not start.

 

Just to clarify I ran this.

First, verify that File and printer sharing is enabled for your network connection.
Second, check that the path to the Server service is set to '%systemroot%\System32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs'

 

It is a password protect administrator account. I have file and print sharing on. I can't find Server under HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services
I've kind of suspected the key is missing but am not sure. Some thing delete the keys for windows installer. I've fixed that already.Other services do have the path '%systemroot%\System32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs'.
I'm still on dial-up. I will have DSL in a few days. I don't know for sure how long ago this problem started. I think April. Is there any way I can open my registry back ups to check, other than importing them into the current registry? This is very frustrating since I can (and have) fix almost anything on my PC. MS forums have been useless, when there even working.

 

The 'Server' registry key is located at HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver
This key may have gone bad. Export it as a text file and post it here. I'll see if i can find any errors then.
Other cases of this problem have been solved by replacing the lanmanserver key by one from a 'healthy' computer. If you decide to try this, make sure to backup your own key first.

 

Here it is. I my wife has XP home, this machine has Pro. Not sure if the keys would be the same.

Thanks,

This may be your error. The value marked in red should be 0x20 and not 0x120. To change it: run regedit, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver and change the Type value to 0x20 (decimal 32).

More info on Service registry keys.

 

Ok tried it, no luck. I thought maybe this key since is different from other security keys on services that work.

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\Security

Just tried typing this is the run box:
cmd /k sc qc serverand
received this:http://forums.majorgeeks.com/C:\Documents and Settings\dan\My Documents\OpenService FAILED 1060.bmp

[SC] OpenService FAILED 1060:
The specified service does not exist as a installed service.


Any ideas??

Thanks

 

None of these are present on my system. Could have been removed by AV and anti-spy ware after the damage was done.

Thanks

 

Interesting but no help on this.

Thanks,

dan

 

Just a quick thought. Did you reboot the computer after you modified that registry key i said was wrong?

 

Yes, several times now. No luck.

 

It's not "serverand"...

It should be:

sc qc lanmanserver

I'm troubleshooting the same thing right now...

 

Just working on the same problem. Server service (and probably others) crashes when network is first time accessed (MSIE started or Explore network performed) - there is rastapi.dll related error in Application log. After that Server service could not be started (access denied). Could you check your apps event log to confirm similar error?

 

Short update - in my case the RasMon is iniciator of this crash - when I disabled this service (not sure about the english name, could be Remote access administrator ?) crash doesnt occure.. but its just workaround.
