NET STATISTICS SERVER not working (Windows Server 2019)

Question

NET STATISTICS SERVER not working (Windows Server 2019)

Joe Grover 566

I was doublechecking to make sure some updates were applied to one of our Windows 2019 file servers last weekend, and when I run the command net statistics server I get the error indicating that the syntax of the command is NET STATISTICS [WORKSTATION].

I've never seen this before (unless on a non-server OS). The Server service is currently running. Any thoughts on why it suddenly thinks it isn't a server anymore? User's image

Hello, Thank you for posting in Q&A forum. As we can see, currently your Windows Server cannot be recognized as a server, if you have made any change recently? Meanwhile please try below method and see if it helps: 1.Run command as Administrator and see if it works 2.Open CMD Window and run sc query lanmanserver to check if lanmanserver service is running properly 3.Open PowerShell and run Get-smbserverconfiguration to collection the file server SMB configuration Best Regards, Hania Lian

Anyone have any ideas? I'd rather not have to build a new server to resolve this.

Having the same issue on Server 2019 Standard, it is worrisome that Microsoft is leaving issues like this to "community support" and expecting buyers of their server OS to cough up premium dollars for the same kind of limp attempts at troubleshooting.

Still having the same issue on Server 2019/2022 installs! Server 2016 is fine, all three OSes show same result as above for SMB Server Configuration. Lanmanserver is running but only Workstation statistics available in elevated command prompt:

C:\Windows\system32>net stats

Statistics are available for the following running services:

Workstation

The command completed successfully.
