Server service missing.

I had a software problem I couldn't solve (no access to CDROM
drive) and a tech installed a second hard drive, installed the
OS (Windows 2000 Pro SP4) copied over my data, and then ghosted
it all onto my drive.

Everthing is now ok, except "Server" isn't listed in Services
and have one Service I never had before: "Portable Media Serial
Number Service".

I presume that HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver
is 'Server'? It is not running, and I get the following error in
Event Viewer=>Application Log every time I log on...

Event Type: Error
Event Source: PerfNet
Event Category: None
Event ID: 2004
Date: 28/04/2006
Time: 7:30:46 PM
User: N/A
Computer: JOHN
Description:
Unable to open the Server service. Server performance data will not
be returned. Error code returned is in data DWORD 0.
Data:
0000: 34 00 00 c0 4..À

How do I start 'Server'?

TIA
Alan
 
You can run exctrlst.exe (Extensible Counter Listing Tool) from the resource
kit and disable the counters if you don't need or use them. They're for use
with Performance Monitor

I don't think that there is a Server Service on Stand Alone Windows 2000
installation unless you install File and Printer Sharing. If you don't
intend on sharing files or printer I recommend that you NOT install the
service. The error you are getting is caused by something else, maybe
Symantec software? See if anything here can help:

Thanks John. I installed File & Printer Sharing and Server has appeared
and no further errors in Event Viewer. I've now unchecked Client for
Microsoft Networks and File and Printer Sharing, leaving me just
PPP over Ethernet and Internet Protocol(TCP/IP). I'm presuming that
these two unchecked items are now inactive even though they're still
installed.

Thanks also to Dave Patrick.

Yes unchecking them unbinds them from that specific connection so the
protocol/service cannot be used by that connection.
