What is NT Authority/Network Service? Should I be worried?

On my 'observer of events (Local)' check to see if something occurred that may contribute to the current boot extremely long process on Windows XP.  (question reported previously, recommended to increase the size of the memory, for which thank you very much).

I saw a string of entries NT Authority/Network Service from the moment that I started my PC.

Anyone could explain what it is/fact & it should be there, in very simple terms please!

It of scary, should I worry?
If so, what should I do about it?

The NT AUTHORITY account is built into account mainly used to run the XP Services.  Many XP Services run under the NT AUTHORITY account (it's like a user account, but you will not see in your list of users) and there are different levels of different Services.  You can see some of them as belonging to the ongoing process in the Manager of tasks and you can see them all with granularity increased if you use Process Explorer (see below for a link).

The types are:

NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM (System Services)
NT AUTHORITY\LOCAL SERVICE (local Services)
NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE (Network Services)

You can search for events on the World Wide Web and get ideas.  It's where people events they see and then to the top of their questions, ideas and solutions:

http://www.EventID.NET/

If you find your event in the discussion, the first idea or discussion does not necessarily mean that it is the "answer" to your situation, so carefully read all ideas to find the one that sounds more like your situation, you are bored or find a satisfactory explanation.

The most interesting newspapers are usually the Application and the system.

Some newspapers such as security and Internet Explorer may be completely empty or have just a few items.  The default value
settings for XP does not log this activity, unless you need to solve a problem in these areas.  If you enable logging for them the papers fill up quickly and could adversely affect the performance of your system with all the extras (often unnecessary) activity.

If you have Microsoft Office installed, it has its own newspapers, and they can be empty or occasional boring activity very little or, if there is no problem with your desktop applications.  It's normal.

Not every event is a problem, some are informational messages that things work very well, and some are warnings.

However, no event should defy reasonable explanation.

Each event is sorted by Date and time.  Errors will be red Xs, warnings will have yellow! s. informational Messages have white is.  Not every error or warning event means that there is a serious question.  Some are excusable at boot time when Windows starts.  Try to find only the events to date
and the time around your problem.

If you double-click on an event, it will open a window of properties with more information.  On the right are black up and down arrow keys to scroll through the open events. The third button that looks like two overlapping pages is used to copy the details of the event in your Windows Clipboard.

When you find an interesting event that occurred at the time of your question, click on the third button at the top and arrows to copy the details and then you can paste the details (right click, paste or CTRL-V) the text in detail here for analysis.  Remove all personal information from your information after you paste If you are forced to do so.

If you paste an event, it will look something like this annoying system startup event:

Event type: Information
Event source: Service Control Manager
Event category: no
Event ID: 7035
Date: 14/07/2010
Time: 17:54:18
User: Jose
Computer: computer

Description:
The Remote Access Connection Manager service was sent successfully a starting control.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

To get a fresh start on any log of the event viewer, you can choose to clear the log (the log backup is available), and then reproduce your problem, then just look at the events around your show and troubleshoot events that are happening when you have your question.

If you want another set of eyeballs on your situation of memory which is not speculation, follow these steps:

Click Start, run and enter in the box:

Msinfo32

Click OK, and when the system info summary appears, click Edit, select all, copy and paste then return here.

There will be some personal information (such as the user name and the name of the system), and what appears to be personal information for you, simply delete the pasted information.

Download Process Explorer, so you can see what is 'really' running on your system, especially behind those svchosts several process see you in the running task manager.

Download Process Explorer from here:

http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/Sysinternals/bb896653.aspx

You'll like Process Explorer when you get the hang of it.  Process Explorer is the Manager of Windows taskbar on steroids.

Process Explorer installs nothing so it won't slow down your system since it works only on request.

Process Explorer can seem a little intimidating at first because it has so much information, but you will begin to make love the way it works when you're looking for performance problems.   You can even say EP you want it to be your new default 'Task Manager' value in the future.  You can always run the original tasks as Manager.

Once you get Process Explorer running, expand the columns, made drag the corners of the screen for it's largest, etc., so you can see as much information as possible in the window.  Now you can really see what is running on the system.

Here's a screenshot of my poor system when I use Process Explorer:

The CPU column is usually the most interesting start with performance issues - which uses the most?

    How to created this table? Also under what account should the executed pl/sql code. Code in quesiton:

    -Before checking the privilege, make sure that the ACL is valid

    Hello

    In Windows Server 2008 R2 remote desktop services, formerly Terminal Services in Windows Server 2008 and earlier versions, is one of the components of Microsoft Windows (client and server versions) that allows a user to access applications and data on a computer on a network using the Protocol RDP (Remote Desktop). Services Terminal Server is the Microsoft implementation of thin-client terminal server computing, where Windows applications, or even the entire desktop of the computer running Terminal Server Services, are made accessible to a remote client computer. The client may be a computer, running any operating system as long as the Terminal Server services protocol is supported, or a barebone machine powerful enough to support the Protocol with the Terminal services Server, only the user interface of an application is presented to the customer level. Any entry which it is redirected over the network to the server, the application execution takes place.

  • Simulator of impossible to connect to the local network services

    Hi all.

    I'm sure this has been answered somewhere, but I can't.

    I have the sim card of the installed 0.9.3 Playbook and (especially) work. It accesses the internet just fine, apps to load and run thin.

    However, what I can't do is access of local network services. I tried even by its IP address and just make mistakes.

    I don't have a DNS server on my local network right now, but could create one, if it helps.

  • I'm unable to start the service for the name of the account to Network Service on Windows Server 2008.

    Original title: name of the account network Service can be resolved correctly on windows French

    I have a service, I want to run under the network service on windows French account. Computer is not in the field, but in the working group.

    Service is installed via install and uses the WinAPI functions to get the name of a valid account of localized, which is the AUTHORITY NT\SERVICE NETWORK.

    The problem is that service fails with errors in the following event viewer:

    (1) service depends on the Net Logon service which failed to start because of the following error:
    The operation was successful.

    (2) this computer is configured as a member of a workgroup, and not as a member of a domain. It is not necessary to perform the service access network in this configuration.

    However, if I go to the properties of this Service, Log On tab and button Browse... to address the NETWORK SERVICE account, it sticks "Network Service" value in field and function successfully starts. Note that it may not resolve the display name 'AUTHORITY NT\SERVICE NETWORK'.

    Another thing is that when I put the computer in the domain that manages all the service suddenly starting with 'AUTHORITY NT\SERVICE NETWORK' account but the system does not transform it in "Network Service" on English windows.

    So is this a bug on a French OS? Is there a solution? How can I get programmatically "converted" version of the account name ('AUTHORITY NT\SERVICE NETWORK'-> 'Network Service')?
