We have tried our best efforts to explore the deepth of windows services and all the given information is gathered from Microsoft notes (As its microsoft product)


79.Service Name:-NtmsSvc
Executable Name:-svchost.exe -k netsvcs
Log On As:-LocalSystem
Description:-Manages removable media drives and libraries. This service maintains a catalog of identifying information for removable media used by a system, including tapes, CDs, and so on. If the system also has automated devices for maintaining removable media (such as a tape autoloader or CD jukebox), Removable Storage also operates the robotics to mount, dismount, and eject media. It is used by applications such as Backup and Remote Storage to handle media cataloging and automation.
This service stops when there is no work to do. It should never be necessary to stop this service as Removable Storage only runs while there are applications using it. If it is stopped on a system that has automated devices, starting applications such as Backup or Remote Storage can take a considerable amount of time. When started in these scenarios, Removable Storage frequently needs to inventory the complete contents of attached autoloaders and jukeboxes, which includes mounting media in each drive.

80.Service Name:-RSoPProv
Executable Name:-RSoPProv.exe
Log On As:-LocalSystem
Description:-Enables you to connect to a Windows domain controller, access the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) database for that computer, and simulate RSoP for Group Policy settings that would be applied to a user or computer located in Active Directory on a Windows 2000 or later domain.
This service is used by the RsoP Microsoft Management console snap-in, and is also accessed by any client of the RSoP-Planning Mode Provider/WMI Provider. Resultant Set of Policy (RSoP) is an addition to Group Policy that makes policy implementation and troubleshooting easier. RSoP is a query engine that polls existing policies and planned policies, and then reports the results of those queries. It polls existing policies based on site, domain, domain controller, and organizational unit. RSoP gathers this information from the Common Information Management Object Model (CIMOM) database (otherwise known as CIM-compliant object repository) through Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI).
RSoP provides details about all policy settings that are configured by an Administrator, including Administrative Templates, Folder Redirection, Internet Explorer Maintenance, Security Settings, Scripts, and Software Installation.
When policies are applied on multiple levels (for example, site, domain, domain controller, and organizational unit), the results can conflict. RSoP can help you determine a set of applied policies and their precedence (the order in which policies are applied).
RSoP consists of two modes: planning mode and logging mode. With planning mode, you can simulate the effect of policy settings that you want to apply to a computer and user. Logging mode reports the existing policy settings for a computer and user that is currently logged on.
If this service is stopped, RsoP planning mode simulation will be unavailable on the domain controller.
