tcmj -- Infos zu den WinXP Diensten -- tcmj

Warndienst ~ Benachrichtig den Benutzer über administrative Warnungen. Unter normalen Umständen wird dieser Dienst nicht benötigt. 

tcmj sagt: deaktivieren

Abhängigkeiten: Workstation



Gatewaydienst auf Anwendungsebene ~ Bietet Unterstützung für "3rd party plug-ins" z.B. für die Internetverbindungsfirewall / Gemeinsame Nutzung der Internetverbindung.  Notwendig falls man die (XP) Firewall benutzt oder der Rechner als Gateway fungiert! Dies verbraucht ca. 1.5 MB Speicher in an idle state.

tcmj sagt: automatisch, wenn man es braucht - deaktivieren, wenn nicht.



Anwendungsverwaltung ~ Wird benutzt, für die Übertragung, Veröffentlichung und Entfernung von Softwarediensten.  Falls man die Installation von normalen Programmen nicht beeinflussen kann, so setzt man den Dienst auf Automatisch oder Manuell.

tcmj sagt: manuell



Anwendungsverwaltung ~ Used for Assign, Publish and Remove software services.  If you can not modify your software installation of certain applications, put this service in to Automatic or manuell.

tcmj sagt: manuell



Automatische Updates ~ werden benötigt wenn man will, dass Windows selbst prüft, ob neue Updates im Internet zur Verfügung stehen. Angeblich berichtet Windows aber nicht sofort, sondern oft Tage später, dass neue Updates vorhanden sind. Meiner Meinung nach sollte man sich für das manuelle Updaten entscheiden und dies dann über die Microsoft Homepage oder evtl. CDs machen. Benötigt Kryptografiedienste

tcmj sagt:  deaktivieren

 

Intelligenter Hintergrundübertragungsdienst ~ wird benutzt, um asynchrone Daten über http1.1 Server zu übertragen. Dieses Feature nutzt das Windows Update. Es setzt einen unterbrochenen Download fort, wenn man sich abmeldet oder den Computer runterfährt. (natürlich beim erneuten Anmelden). Das Problem ist, dass man dieses Feature recht selten in Anspruch nimmt. Ich habe bis jetzt keinen Nebeneffekt bemerkt, als ich es deaktiviert habe. Nutzt stattdessen FTP und macht das Windows Update manuell über die Microsoft-Seite! Benötigt Kryptografiedienste

Remoteprozeduraufruf (RPC)

Arbeitsstationsdienst

 

Ablagemappe ~ wird benutzt um Informationen zu speichern (ausschneiden/einfügen) und mit anderen Computern auszutauschen. Ich habe bis jetzt noch keinen vernünftigen Grund gefunden, diesen Dienst ständig aktiv zu lassen. Er belegt ca. 1,3 MB Speicher.

tcmj sagt: deaktivieren

Abhängigkeiten:

Network DDE

 

COM+ Ereignissystem ~ In dem Ereignisprotokoll steht ein Eintrag über "DCOM" welcher beklagt, dass dieser Dienst nicht gestartet wurde, wenn er deaktiviert wird. Ich kenne momentan eigentlich kein Programm, welches COM+ verwendet. Aber wenn man diesen Dienst auf "manuell" setzt, melden dies viele Dienste, so dass er dann sowieso gestartet wird.  Erforderlich für Fehlerberichtserstattung.  Wechsle in den Ordner
"C:\Programme\ComPlus Applications"
und schau nach, ob irgendein COM+ Programm installiert ist.  Falls nicht, kann man diesen Dienst eigentlich ohne Nebeneffekte deaktivieren (bis auf die Einträge im Ereignisprotokoll .)  Achtung:  BootVis benötigt Taskplaner  und COM+ Ereignissystem zum starten der "Optimieren"-Funktion.

COM+ Systemanwendung ~ Im Ereignisprotokoll findet man einen Eintrag über "DCOM" welcher klagt, dass dieser Dienst nicht gestartet wurde, wenn man ihn deaktiviert. Auch hier gilt, dass sich viele Dienste beschweren wenn dieser Dienst nicht aktiv ist und er wird dann - manuell - gestartet. Auch hier sollte man
"C:\Programme\ComPlus Applications"
aufsuchen, und prüfen, ob er irgendeinen Inhalt hat. Falls nicht, kann man ihn eigentlich deaktivieren. (Die Einträge im Ereignisprotokoll sind dann normal) Wird benötigt für Systemereignisbenachrichtigung .

Kryptografiedienste ~ Hauptsächlich bestätigt dieser Dienst sogenannte 'Signaturen" von Windows-Dateien. Man bekommt dann etwa eine Meldung über "unzertifizierte Treiber" wenn man ihn deaktiviert.  Wird benötigt für das starten des Windows Updates um im manuellen und automatischen Modus zu fungieren.  Ich starte diesen Dienst, wenn ich auf neue Updates prüfe, dann schalte ich ihn aber wieder aus!  Für einige Funktionen des Windows Media Players wird dieser Dienst auch benötigt.

DHCP Client ~ Empfängt eine dynamische IP-Addresse vom DHCP-Server des (Internet)providers.  Wird benötigt für ICS /Internet-Client und auch, wenn man IPSECbenutzt. Auf Einzelplatzsystemen oder Systemen mit statischer IP-Adresse sollte dieser Dienst deaktiviert werden.  Achtung:  Viele DSL/Kabel Provider benutzen DHCP für ihren Internetzugang .  Wenn dieser Dienst deaktiviert wird, und das Internet funktioniert nicht mehr, dann sollte man wieder zurück auf "Automatisch" stellen.

Distributed Link Tracking Client ~ Maintains links with NTFS files within your computer or across a domain.  For example, I make a file on "Computer A."  I then create a "short cut" or "link" to that file on "Computer B."  If I would move the file on Computer A to a different location, this service would tell Computer B to update it's information to allow uninterrupted connectivity.  Even though this is rather valuable on a large network, I have not found a use for this service.  It uses about 3.5 MB to 4 MB in an idle state.

Help and Support ~ Required for Micro$ofts online help documents.  If you ever "attempt" to use Help and Support, this service will be placed back into "Automatic" even if you already placed this service on deaktivieren.  I try to avoid as much M$ help as I can...

tcmj sagt: deaktivieren unless you really want it.

IIS Admin ~ Not installed by default, but if needed, you may install it later off of the WinXP CD.  Usually used in conjunction with local web site or FTP servers.  Leave it uninstalled mainly because IIS has been "popular" for hackers to break.

tcmj sagt: Leave not installed or deaktivieren unless you really want it.

Abhängigkeiten:

Security Accounts Manager

 

IMAPI CD-Burning COM Service ~ Used for that cool "drag and drop" CD burn capability.  You will need this service to burn CD's.  The good news?  If set to manuell, the service starts and stops itself when used with some software packages.  Practically the only service that does do this!  If you still can not burn a CD with it on manuell, switch to Automatic and feel safe that it will only be used when "needed."  My best guess is that this takes up about 1.6 MB of memory in an idle state.

tcmj sagt: deaktivieren unless needed, then Automatic.

 

Indexing Service ~ This has always and forever been a major resource hog.  I never recommend having this service enabled.  Remove the function via the "Add/Remove Programs" icon in the control panel (Windows Setup Programs.)  It uses about 500K to 2 MB in an idle state, not to mention the amount of memory it takes to actually INDEX the drives.  I have had people (and witnessed it on other people's computers) report to me that the Indexing Service sometimes starts up EVEN while the system is NOT idle... as in the middle of a game.  I feel this is unacceptable.

tcmj sagt: deaktivieren or even better, uninstalled.

tcmj sagt: deaktivieren

 

Network Connections ~ Required for managing network connectivity.  Set to deaktivieren if you have NO network or you do not toy with the configurations a lot.  If your internet connectivity is effected after disabling this function, set it back to Automatic!  Note:  While disabling this service, you will no longer see the system tray icon (lower right) displayed, even for modem connections.  Connectivity, however, still exists even on incoming shared network drives.

NT LM Security Support Provider ~ Not needed unless you are running Message Queuing or Telnet server.

tcmj sagt: deaktivieren unless needed.

 

Performance Logs and Alerts ~ Collects performance data on a schedule and sends the information to a log or triggers an alert.  This may be a super geek tool, but I feel that the overhead associated with it is not worth the benefit.  You decide.

tcmj sagt: deaktivieren

 

Plug and Play ~ The heart and soul of the Plug and Play environment.  I do not recommend to disable this service, but if you want to, you are on your own.  Take note:  UPnP is NOT related to PnPUPnP is used for connectivity on networks via TCP/IP to devices, such as scanners or printers.  Your sound card is PnP.  Do NOT Disable Plug and Play service.

Portable Media Serial Number ~ Retrieves serial numbers from portable music players connected to your computer.  I have not really found a good reason to keep this service always running.  I am not aware of anything that actually Benötigt it.  Disable it unless something of yours ceases to function properly.

tcmj sagt: deaktivieren

 

Print Spooler ~ Queues up print jobs for later printing.  This service is Required if you have printers, even if they are network printers.  If this does not fit your needs, Disable it.  You will save about 3.8 MB by making this service go away.  Take note:  Your printers will still be "installed" if you disable this service, but not visible in the printers folder.  After restarting Print Spooler, they will reappear and be available for use.

tcmj sagt: Automatic if needed, deaktivieren otherwise.

Abhängigkeiten:

Remote Procedure Call (RPC)

 

Protected Storage ~ Allows for the saving of local passwords or even web sites information (AutoComplete.)  This service is set to Automatic by default.  Due to security reasons, I recommend leaving this "feature" deaktivieren to make things all that much more difficult to steal vital information if you do not "save" it.  If you disable this service, you will no longer have any of your passwords saved, no matter how many times you click the box.  If you enjoy having your passwords saved in applications like Outlook or Dial up networking, set this service to Automatic.

QoS RSVP ~ Provides traffic control on a network using IPSEC and applications that support QoS, plus have an adapter that supports it.  The QoS Packet Driver is installed by default on any TCP/IP connections.  I recommend uninstalling it if it is not needed on your network.  As far as I can tell, you also need an ACS Server (Provided with Windows 2000 Server and Advanced Server) for the QoS Packet Scheduler and Applications to request the needed bandwidth.  Since my network is not straining under any load, this is rather pointless.  Take note:  Some people (as I did before I completed extensive research on this) reported that QOS uses 20% of your bandwidth and does not allow any activity, regardless.  This is false.  For more information, please view this KB article from M$ (I normally do not post links to them, but this warrants it:)  http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q316666  Regardless, if you uninstall the packet scheduler, there is no "bandwidth" that is still being used...

SSDP Discovery Service ~ Used to locate UPnP devices on your home network. Used in conjunction with Universal Plug and Play Device Host, it detects and configures UPnP devices on your home network.  For security reasons and also for the fact that I doubt that you have any of these devices, Disable this service.  If any EXTERNAL device does not function as a result of this service being deaktivieren, place it back in to Automatic.  Take note:  UPnP is NOT related to PnPUPnP is used for connectivity on networks via TCP/IP to devices, such as scanners or printers.  Your sound card is PnP.  Do NOT Disable Plug and Play service.

System Event Notification ~ Used in conjunction with COM+ Event System, this service notifies particular services when system events, such as logon and power events occurs.  I doubt the the average user really cares about this.  I have also not seen any applications that use this.  You will receive, in the Event Log, a entry complaining about not having this service running if deaktivieren.  I have yet to find a side effect, though...

System Restore Service ~ Creates system snap shots or restore points for returning to at a later time.  This is the OTHER service that is a massive resource hog (Indexing Service is number one.)  Every time you install a program or new driver, plus on a schedule, this service creates a "restore point" to roll back to if a problem occurs.  This service would have been nice in the Win95 days due to plenty of problems occurring (new DirectX version every 15 minutes) but not required for the "much" more stable WinXP.  This is the FIRST thing that I get rid of on a clean installation.  If you use this and enjoy it, good for you.  I never will.  I feel it is faster and less hassle to just install clean.  NOTE:  If you disable this service, your previous "restore points" may be deleted.  If for what ever reason you do not want this to happen, do not disable this service.

Task Scheduler ~ This service is used to schedule maintenance, M$ Backup sessions or maybe even Auto Update.  I do everything manuellly, so as to avoid having this service running all the time.  Some third party software may require this service to be active for automated functions, such as Virus Scanners, system maintenance tools, and automatic patch/driver lookups.  Take note:  BootVis Benötigt Task Scheduler  and COM+ Event System to be running if you wish to take advantage of the "optimize system" function.  Why?  It is due to the pre-fetching function built into WinXP.  Another Note:  Pre-fetching only occurs on boot up, so if you do not care about a few extra seconds of boot time, do not even bother with it and disable Task Scheduler.

World Wide Web Publishing Service ~ Not installed by default, but if needed, you may install it later off of the WinXP CD.  Used for setting up a local web server.  If you do not need this function, leave it uninstalled, mainly because this service Benötigt IIS Admin to be running and IIS has been "popular" for hackers to break.
