Hi, in win XP Pro, belonging to a workgroup, in the user
properties, when you create a new user the "member of"
page can not be accessed, an error message is
displayed: " The following error occured while
attempting to read the properties for the user ?????? :
The server service is not started.", the server service
does not exist when I check it with MMC.
1 question: do I need server service if I am in a stand
alone node belonging to a workgroup.
2- if the answer is "yes" or "no" to the first question,
then, if "yes" a- How to enable server service if I can
not see it in the services of MMC. If "no" b- How can I
access the "member of" page in the user properties
sheet...
TIA
 
Click Start, Run and enter REGEDIT Go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver

If the "lanmanserver" subkey doesn't exist, then you may have to reinstall
XP to put it back. I could provide a Registry export of this key, but
there's no guarantee it would work on your system.
