Unable to start workstation service

[Tom Harris]

Since updating to MS great Plains 7.5, I can no longer
start the workstation service and connect to our servers.

I get an error message, Error 2 Unable to find file when
I try to start the service thru service manager.

When I look in event viewer I get:

The Workstation service terminated with the following
error:
The system cannot find the file specified.

this is in the system folder with an event ID of 7023,
source is service control manager.....

Need help. Pleas respond by e mail

That service is implemented in \windows\system32\wkssvc.dll , make sure it
still exists...

This file (wkssvc.dll) does exist in C:\windows\system32
as does svchost.exe.

I am able to ping localhost and any of the servers, just
can not connect to them and join domain.

Seems like it should be a simple fix but so far it hasn't
been...

Any more thoughts???

Regards
Tom
