We have a WINNT 4.0 workstation pc that was setup without sharing for it's drives. There is no share option under properties for the drive. It has service pack 4. What can we do to get the share option? I have been told we have to totally reinstall NT. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Sharing is done thru the "Server" service. Go to services and see is it needs to be started and if it is not there install it through Network Neighborhood, Properties, Services, Add.

Hi,
Are you loging in as admin??Check all network related services.It could well be permission related issue,if not solved try service pack 6a.
As a last step,if your boot partition is FAT(normally c:\),boot thro' a floppy and delete
c:\winnt\system32\config\sam (assuming c:\winnt is your root),and restart.This 'll create a new SAM database.But you'll loose all accounts and permissions you'd set.

Best wishes.

Hello,
I went to services and server was not there, so I added just as you said to "NetworkNeighborhood-Properties-Services-Add". I then rebooted the pc and when it came back up it gave the following error message:
"The Server service terminated with the following error: Not enough server storage is available to process this command."? What do I need to do next? Thanks for your help.
