Terminal Services Error 1075 – the dependency does not exist or has been marked for deletion

One one of Windows box I got the following error:

1075 - the dependency does not exist or has been marked for deletion

So how do You fix this error? The solution is simple, but you need to reboot the box:

To fix the 1075 error

Login to your windows box.

Open the control panel

Install MS Terminal Services and reboot the server. This make sure that all the systems files got installed and working fine.

After reboot, again open the control panel

Uninstall MS Terminal Services. For Windows Server 2003, the MS Terminal Services option is not required for remote administration.

Open up regedit and verify that the entries for "\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TermService" has the following entry:

DependOnService               REG_MULTI_SZ         RPCSS

If you found another "Depend" entry, just delete it.

Finally, reboot the server.
