| 43.Service Name:-Kdc |
| Executable Name:-lsass.exe |
| Log On As:-LocalSystem |
Description:-Enables users to log on to the network using the Kerberos v5 authentication protocol.
As in other implementations of the Kerberos protocol, the KDC is a single process that provides two services:
Authentication Service
This service issues ticket granting tickets (TGTs) for connection to the ticket-granting service in its own domain or in any trusted domain. Before a client can ask for a ticket to another computer, it must request a TGT from the authentication service in the clients account domain. The authentication service returns a TGT for the ticket granting service in the target computers domain. The TGT can be reused until it expires, but first access to any domains ticket-granting service always requires a trip to the authentication service in the clients account domain.
Ticket-Granting Service (TGS)
This service issues tickets for connection to computers in its own domain. When clients want access to a computer, it must request a TGT, and ask for a ticket to the computer. The ticket can be reused until it expires, but first access to any computer always requires a trip to the ticket-granting service in the target computers account domain.
If this service is stopped, users will be unable to log on to the domain and access services.

| 44.Service Name:-LicenseService |
| Executable Name:-llssrv.exe |
| Log On As:-NetworkService |
Description:-Tracks Client Access License usage for server products, such as Internet Information Server (IIS), Terminal Services, File and Print services, as well as other products such as SQL Server and Microsoft Exchange Server.
The License Logging service for Windows Server 2003 operating systems collects site-licensing information on the site license server for a single site. This enables a geographical or organizational unit in an organization to purchase and manage their software licenses separately. However, because each site allocates licenses to users independently of other sites, a user connecting to a product in more than one site might be allocated more than one Client Access License for the same product.
If stopped or disabled, licensing logging for these programs will not be logged.

The Logical Disk Manager uses an administrator service and a watchdog service. The service should not be disabled if dynamic disks are in the system.
If this service is disabled or stopped, dynamic disk status and configuration information will become out of date and hard disk drives will not be detected. Also, any attempt to use the MMC Disk Management snap-in to configure disks will display the unable to connect to Logical Disk Manager service error message.
