The Server service is not set to start automatically.
Unless an administrator manually starts the Server service each time the server restarts, client computers will not be able to access shared folders and other Server Message Block (SMB)-based network services on this server.
Set the Server service to start automatically.
Membership in the Administrators group, or equivalent, is the minimum required to complete this procedure.
-
In Administrative Tools, click Services.
-
In the Services pane, right-click Server, and then click Properties.
-
In Startup type, click Automatic, and then click OK.
