title: Trying to join a Domain on WinServer 2008R2 but can't start "Workstation service" because of Error 1075
body: <p>I just made a VM from the "[smalldisk] Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1" image on Azure. I am trying to join my (running and working) Domain in the same VPN but when I open the Name/Domain Options it says I can't join a domain until I have started the Workstation Service.</p>
  
  <p>Trying to start the workstation service I get the following error: </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Windows could not start the Workstation service on Local Computer.<br>
    Error 1075: The dependency service does not exist or has been market for deletion.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Obviously I googled the error but mostly people seem to have that error because they're using some kind of Disk Compatibility mode and recommend changing it in the BIOS. This being a VM I don't really have access to the BIOS.</p>
  
  <p>Anyone ever ran into this problem? How do I get around it?</p>
