- Provides an interface for raising, clearing and enumerating Remote Administration alerts
- Provides an interface for executing Remote Administration tasks
The Remote Server Manager acts as a WMI instance provider for Remote Administration Alert Objects and a WMI method provider for Remote Administration Tasks. The Service runs in the Local System account and requests on the COM interface are only accepted from clients running under the Administrators or Local System accounts.
If this service is set to manual, it will start when the next request for Remote Administration Tasks or Remote Administration Alerts is received. Disabling this service will lead to the loss of information about the current Remote Administration Alerts on the system.

| Executable Name:-RsServ.exe |
| Log On As:- LocalSystem |
Description:-The Remote Storage Server service is a hierarchical storage management application that migrates data from upper-level storage to lower-level storage. Upper-level storage is commonly known as local storage: data that is frequently accessed is stored locally on high-performance disks. Lower-level storage is also known as remote storage: data that is infrequently accessed is stored on less expensive media until it is needed again. Hierarchical storage management reduces the costs of storing large quantities of data, while ensuring that the data is still accessible.
File data is cached locally so that it can be accessed quickly as needed. When the amount of available space on a managed volume dips below the level you need, Remote Storage automatically removes the content from the cached files, providing the disk space you need. When data is removed from a file, the disk space used by the file is reduced to zero. Data from cached files is not removed until more disk space is needed. When you need to open a file whose data has been removed, the data is automatically recalled from remote storage.
Since removable tapes or disks in a library are less expensive per megabyte (MB) than hard disks, this can be an economical way to provide both maximum data storage and optimal local disk performance.
For more information about the Remote Storage Service, see "Managing Data with Removable and Remote Storage", in the Windows Server Management Guide.
If this service is stopped or disabled, files cannot be moved to or retrieved from secondary storage media.
