‘net view’ generates error “The service has not been started”

servicewindows-server-2012-r2windows-service

I have a problem in Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager where by the computer browser to do a remote push install has randomly stopped working showing the error message

Network Provider: Microsoft Windows Network Error: The service has not been started

so I searched around online and also tested net view in Command Prompt which shows the error message

C:\Users\Administrator.DOMAIN>net view
The service has not been started.

More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 2184.

I have checked both Computer Browser and Workstation services and both were running but I also restarted them and I have the same error messages. Does anyone know how I can resolve the issue?

Best Answer

Computer Browser also depends on the Server service. Have you checked that it's running?
