Lanmanserver issue

[Junior]

Greetings,

Last week I had a Win2K server (current on updates) fail to start a myriad
of services after it started. Critical due to the fact that it would not
start my Exchange 2000 services. Perplexed at what to do about this and
noticing that my server was no longer viewable in the network neighborhood,
I was beginning to get concerned. I found that in the registry,
particularly HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\ I had no lanmanserver
folder. All of my other servers had on and it appeared that this might be
a
culprit. I read from an article about the Event code 7003 that to first
try
and re run the latest service pack. When this did absolutely nothing, it
gave the mention to copy a working server's registry entry for lanmanserver
and to copy and merge it into the affected computer. Right after then
restart from doing that, Mail services and all other services started up
without fail.

HOWEVER: now the servers shares are lost and the server is still not
present in network neighborhood. Nor is it accessible in trying to map a
drive or even use an administrative share. Email still is working fine and
I can RDP to the server at will.

What can I do to get the server back into the "neighborhood" It appears
not
to want to broadcast or is broadcasting all wrong.

Thanks in Advance and hope to hear back from someone soon.

Is 'File and Printer' sharing bound to the connection? Also this article
describes a procedure to restore the server service to auto-tuning status.
You'll probably need to recreate those shares.
