Vista Function Discovery
Mar 19, 2010 Function Discovery APIs for performing WS Discovery: Function Discovery APIs in Windows Vista, provides a uniform. When trying to 'turn on network discovery'. Windows Vista; Windows. - Function Discovery Resource Publication.
T he Function Discovery Provider Host service allows resources to be discovered over the network. One of the more notable resources that depend on this is the Media.
Hello, I have Windows Vista Ultimate and two other XP computers. The two XP's are communicationg through the network (workgroup). The problem is the my Vista computer cannot communicate with the XP ones. I have tried to install the LLTD, with no luck. I can see those computers in the network map, but I cannot share files or printers. In the Network and Sharing center, I have file sharing, public folder sharing, password protected sharing and media sharing ON.
For some reason, I can't switch the Network Discovery from custom to ON. I looked at Windows Help, and I saw that dnscache, fdrespub, ssdpsrv, and upnphost services have to be started. For some reason, when I look in the 'Services' tab in Task Manager, dnscache, ssdpsrv, and upnphost services are running, and only the FDResPub (Function Discovery Resource Publication) service is stopped. When I try to start it, I get two types of error messages: 1. 'The operation cpuld not be completed.
Access is denied.' Windows could not start the Function Discovery Resource Publication service on Local Computer.
Error 0x80070001: Incorrect function. My user is an Administrator. How can I cause the FDResPub service to run?? Thank you in advance, Amity.
OK, sorry, I figured you were an expert judging by the fact that you used the 8-character code for the services (in fact, although this is apparently not so for you, the chances are extremely overwhelming that only an expert would use the 8-character codes, so I'd make the same assumption again). So, umm, here's the how-to: 1. OK, Vista Ultimate, fun fun, that's what I just bought. Yeah, I don't know where its command prompt is. Maybe you should type cmd.exe in the Search box? No clue if it'll work, I hack-imported my theme from WINDOWS 95.
Type in sc qc FDResPub and click ENTER. Click the icon in the top left corner = Edit = Mark (yeah, they removed the ability to do it via keyboard). Select the output and press Enter to copy it. Post it here.
After reading your problem though it might be easier to do a remote desktop session or something. I can fix the Network Discovery via forums, but there are oodles of problems that might keep Vista from communicating with XP. Especially if Vista is ultimate, and especially if XP is not professional, then there's all these group policies and stuff that are set up on Vista by default to prevent lower security levels from accessing its data. And, it 'should' be able to view the content of the XP computers, just not the other way around. By the way, I had the same problem. So yeah, mere Network Discovery will most likely not fix it. While you're at it, you might wanna check the status of services RemoteAccess, RasMan, TapiSvr, and BFE and name the kind of network your computer uses, as well as you can describe it.
Different networks require different services in Vista, as I unfortunately had to discover. In XP, I ran about 6 and got away with it for doing normal tasks. In Vista, I run like 19, and other services keep randomly turning themselves on, so yeah, I'm kinda preferring XP right now. Especially with the no-confirmation shutdowns. Very often I click, Start = Shut down to try to log off, and POOF. OK, I'm going off on a tangent.
Just tell me the results please. Oh, and a meeting time. I'm a full time college student, so preferably either early in the morning or in the evening.
And I'll be away this weekend, so no earlier than Tuesday, so that I'd be able to reply yes or no. Unless you can do it tomorrow. Any time after lunch would do. Of course, unless you wanna work on this yourself. Sasha - Sasha's Profile: View this thread. Hi Sasha, Thank you very much for your willing to help me.
