Hi,
The error message refers to "Background Intelligent Transfer Service" which
is used by Windows Automatic Update to download Windows patches to the
client machines and hence it is important to have that service running.
BITS service is also used by applications such as MSN Explorer, Messenger
etc.
The problem on your machine is that you have uninstalled "Client for
microsoft networks" component and hence lanmanworkstation service doesnt
exist.
To resolve the problem, Either you can re-install the "Client for microsoft
networks" component or remove the dependency from BITS Service, and then
enable the BITS service.
Reinstalling "Client for Microsoft Networks" networking component:
* Select Start -> Settings -> Control Panel
* Double-click "Network and Internet Connections" and then "Network
Connections"
* Here you should see "Local Area Connection" icon
* Right-click on that icon and select "Properties". "Local Area Connection
properties" dialog pops up
* In the dialog box that opens
* Select Install. "Select Network Component Type" dialog pops up
* Select Client and click Add
* Select "Client for Microsoft Networks" and press OK (the installation
may prompt for Windows XP CD)
* select "cancel" in "Select Network Component Type" dialog
* Click Close in "Local Area Connection properties" dialog
Removing the BITS service dependency on lanmanworkstation
The dependency of 'lanmanworkstation' on BITS can be removed by the
following sc.exe commands.
The dependency list is different for Windows 2000 and Windows XP. The
modification can be done by the following commands.
sc.exe is available in resource kit for Windows 2000. It is already
available in Windows XP Pro.
On Windows XP, run the command from the command prompt
sc config bits depend= RpcSs
On Windows 2000, run the command from the command prompt
sc config bits depend= RpcSs/Sens/WMI
