Workstation Service not present !!!

if you are trying to join a pc to domain and u see that the domain name and workgroup are disabled...
that's because the worksation service is not available or not started.
if not started try to start it.
if not available check the following solution:

Before doing anything, try running the network setup wizard. It might activate or install any missing services or files.

Still not working? Try importing this registry key.

Importing the above registry key should add the service back to the list of services. If its still not working it might be becasyse 1 or more of the files needed are missing or corrupt. Search your computer for "wkssvc.dll" to see if it exists.

Try, extracting it from the cd using SFC. Path should be c:\windows\system32.

If it still doesn't work try running SFC /scannow
