Can not start lanmanworkstation in safe mode
Hi,
I need to execute some DOS commands from the command prompt in safe mode.
My Net Use is failing because the Lanmanworkstation is stopped
I tried this to start it:
SC Start Lanmanworkstation
That failed
and this
Sc config lanmanworkstation start= demand
That was accepted but sc queryex said the lanmanworkstation was 1 stopped
How do I start It?
Thanks

Thanks for the reply Mr. X
The command was issued from the command prompt of the administrator id in safe mode.
The error is: Start Service Failed 1068 = The dependency service or group failed to start

You can use "sc qc <service>" to find the dependencies like this:
sc qc Lanmanworkstation
Now find out if the dependency services are running or not.
If not please try to start them.
If this solve your problem, please mark as helpful and as a response the replies that helped you.

I am doing this in safe mode because the other DOS commands that I wish to run must be done here to bypass corrupted owner and permisssions. I want to access an external disk
NET USE T: \\EXTERNALDRIVE\Public\Backup-Music
and then delete the corrupted folder RMDIR T: \American-Light-Music-Classics /S
It's beginning to look like this is not possible.
Thanks

Thank you Mr. X
I have exhausted ny attempts to fix my problem via TAKEOWN and ICACLS. See this thread:
http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistafiles/thread/027b58d0-439c-4425-9930-a7770da0f762
When I tried ICACLS or TAKEOWN as administrator I got access denied
That is why I was attempting to go the DOS Recovery console route.
THanks

Mr X,
I carefully went throught the steps that you prescribed.
http://www.tipandtrick.net/2008/how-to-take-ownership-and-full-control-permissions-of-files-and-folders-in-vista/
I ran Windows Explorer as administrator.
At step seven; "Additional advanced server settings"
I got "Unable to set new owner on -file name-. Access denied.
In Owner > Other users or groups I got;
"Program can not open required dialog box because it can not determine wheather the computer named EXTERNALDRIVE is joined to a domain. Close this message and try again".
EXTERNALDRIVE is the name of my drive on my home network. It is not a computer.
I have no problem accessing other files on this drive. It is just these few (18) that are frusturating me because I can not delete thrm.
I was able to change permissions to full control for all owners listed but this did not help with the delete function.
Thanks

All of the previous posts were my attempts to delete folders on a local network connected external drive. The folders and files had an owner that I could not change. They were created with Robocopy.
My stepson who is a computer whiz came to visit and provided this solution:
He defined a administrative user in Windows exactly equal to the owner of folders on the the external drive that I could not manage -
(EXTERNALDRIVE\admin). Other owners; (Unix User\nobody) and (EXTERNALDRIVE\everyone were OK I could manipulate them -move delete etc..He made this owner -
admin - part of WORKGROUP using the Western Digital user interface. With this ID he copied the folders with bad files to a temp folder, deleted the bad folder and renamed the temp folder to the name of the original folder. That corrected
the bad owners and provided write access where I previously had only read access.
He had no thought on how the ownership got corrupted by ROBOCOPY but I am very happy with his solution.
I post this in the hope that it may help others
