What is Server Service?
Server Service is a component of the Microsoft Windows Server operating systems that allows a server to share file and print resources with clients over the network. The service’s display name is Server and it runs inside the service host process, svchost.exe -k netsvcs .
By default, the service is set to start automatically when your computer boots. Server Service also known as LanmanServer .
The Server Service allows you to share files and printers on your computer. Without the service you can’t share any resources. If you disable the service, you can prevent others from accessing your Workstation from the network – in fact, it won’t even show up under network neighborhood.
The Server Service receives ‘jobs'(instructions) from applications and computers that are using the MS Network Client and NetBIOS redirectors.
The Server service consists of two files:
- Server (or SRV): A service that runs within the general Service Control Manager (services.exe) process
- Srv.sys: A file system driver that operates in kernel mode and handles all low-level functions of the Server service, such as file reads and writes
If you cannot see a server’s shared folders and printers in Network Neighborhood, check to see whether the Server service is still running. Try stopping and starting the service by using the Windows Services snap-in or the Windows Services utility by opening the services.msc .
What happens if LanmanServer service is stop?
Stopping the Server service will have a couple of potentially serious impacts.
- File sharing will not work
- Remote printing will not work
So, that’s all in this blog. I will meet you soon with some other stuff. Have a nice day !!!
