| 70.Service Name:-RasAuto |
| Executable Name:-svchost.exe -k netsvcs |
| Log On As:-LocalSystem |
Description:-Creates a connection to a remote network whenever a program references a remote DNS or NetBIOS name or address. This service (sometimes called the autodial service) detects an attempt to resolve the name of a remote computer or share, or an unsuccessful attempt to send packets to a remote computer or share. The service is activated only when there is no network access. In that case, the service brings up a dialog which offers to make a dial-up or VPN connection to the remote computer.
To assist users, the service maintains a local database of connections that were used in the past to reach named computers or shares. When the service detects an unsuccessful attempt to reach a remote computer or share, this service will offer to dial the connection that was last used to reach this remote device.
If this service is stopped, you will need to manually set up connections to remote computers. Windows Product Activation will start both this and the Telephony service when activating any Windows XP and Windows operating systems. If this service is disabled, any services that explicitly depend on this service will fail to start.

| Executable Name:-svchost.exe -k netsvcs |
| Log On As:-LocalSystem |
Description:-Manages dial-up and virtual private networks (VPN) connections from your computer to the Internet or other remote networks. When you double-click a connection in the Network Connections folder and select the Connect button, the Remote Access Connection Manager service dials the connection (or sends a VPN connection request) and handles subsequent negotiations with the remote access server in order to setup the connection.
This service will unload itself when there are no requests pending. The Connections folder calls on this service to enumerate the set of connections and to display the status of each one. Therefore, except for the case in which there are no connections in the Network Connections folder, the service will always be operational.
If this service is stopped or disabled, your computer will not be able to make dial-up or VPN connections to a remote network, nor accept incoming connections. In addition, the Network Connections Folder will not display VPN, dial-up or local network connections.
