Do I need RpcSs service?

Anonymous

Under task manager, I find that RpcSs (Remote procedure call) is running, and would like to know whether I need it or not, if I don't need it, how to stop this service.

Furthermore, I also find RasAuto and RasMan, RemoteAccess, RemoteRegistry, rpcapd, RpcLocator, ... it seems too many remote features are running, which I don't know on whether I need it or not.

I never use any remote feature within win 7.

Does anyone have any suggestions on which remote feature can be stopped?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions

    Yes, you need RpcSs service.

    This service is rather vital. Practically everything depends on this service to be running. This is also one of the few services that you cannot disable via the Services MMC, nor can you change the state with a registry patch.

    The RPCSS service is the Service Control Manager for COM and DCOM servers. It performs object activations requests, object exporter resolutions and distributed garbage collection for COM and DCOM servers. If this service is stopped or disabled, programs using COM or DCOM will not function properly. It is strongly recommended that you have the RPCSS service running.
