Windows Server 2016 - Server service broken
I have a Windows Server, where the server service (aka svchost.exe -k smbsvcs) will not start. At first, the error I received was:
Windows could not start the Server service on Local Computer
Error 1075: The dependency service does not exist or has been marked for deletion
After some Googling, I found a solution to the above error by going into the registry and deleting the DependOnService string within the LanmanServer key. While that did resolve the above error, I now have a new error when I try to start the Server service:
Windows could not start the Server service on Local Computer
Error 2: The system could not find the file specified
Obviously, the C:\Windows\System32\svchos
Also, as a related issue, I am seeing the following error repeated in Event Viewer:
Log Name: Application
Source: Perfnet
EventID: 2004
Message: Unable to openthe Server service performance object. The first four bytes (DWORD) of the Data section contains the status code
