The
Error Reporting Service
system service collects, stores, and reports unexpected application
closures to Microsoft and authorizes error reporting for services and applications running in non-
standard environments. This service provides Microsoft product groups with efficient and effective
information to debug driver and application faults. If the Display Error Notification service is enabled,
users will still get a message indicating that a problem occurred, but they will not have the option to
report this information to Microsoft or a local network error reporting server. For these reasons, this
service is disabled in the three environments defined in this guide.

The
Event Log
system service enables event log messages issued by Windows-based programs and
components to be viewed in Event Viewer. Event Log reports contain information that can be useful in
diagnosing problems. If the
Event Log
is disabled, administrators will be unable to track events, which
will significantly reduce the ability to successfully diagnose system problems. Therefore, this service
sets the value of
Automatic
in the three environments defined in this guide.

The
Fax Service
system service, a Telephony API (TAPI)-compliant service, provides fax capabilities
from the computer. The
Fax Service
allows users to send and receive faxes from their desktop
applications by using either a local fax device or a shared network fax device. On a baseline server,
this service is disabled, so the computer will not be able to send or receive faxes.

Important: File Replication Service (FRS)

for HP NAS server systems using DFS and
FRS services.
The
File Replication Service
(FRS) enables files to be automatically copied and maintained
simultaneously on multiple servers. If the
File Replication Service
is disabled, file replication will not
occur, and server data will not synchronize. In the case of a domain controller, stopping the FRS
service might have a serious impact on the domain controller’s ability to function. Therefore, the value
for this service is set to
Disabled
in the baseline policy. However, this setting is set to
Automatic
in the
domain controller baseline policy for the three environments defined in this guide.
