There is no process for lanman resource (other than agent process there is for every agent which run the agent entry points).  The operations of the lanman resource are in the bundled agents guide:

Online

Binds the IP addresses with the specified virtual computer name. The
agent also queries the name server of the domain for Host (A), PTR, and
CNAME records and adds or updates the records on the name server .

 

Offline

Removes the IP address binding from the virtual computer name.


Monitor

Verifies the IP addresses are bound to the virtual computer name. If
DNSUpdateRequired and DNSRefreshRequired is enabled and the resource
is online, then the Lanman agent refreshes the resource records on the
DNS servers. The agent queries the name servers for DNS records. It
reports back ONLINE if the response from all the name servers contains the
Host (A), PTR, and CNAME records. If no servers return the appropriate
records, the monitor reports the resource as OFFLINE .

The same is true of composite share - there is no running service or process - the operations being:

Online    Shares the specified folders with designated permissions.
Offline    Removes the shares for the specified folders.
Monitor  Verifies at least one specified folder is shared with the designated permissions.

 

Logs for the agents, Lanman_A.log and CompositeShare_A.log are in cluster server/log directory and there also may be informaiton in the engine_A.log

MIke,

Thank you for your reply. The problem is there is no error on CompositeShare_A.log or engine_A.log.

It looks like issue with Windows. Do you know what are the process handles the shared request on windows?

I looked at the event viewer got  few 2012 error. I can still these errors and file sharing is working properly.

 

Any other log file or process I can look into it ?
