== Details ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== National Instruments Domain Service ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Appears to be a NI proprietary user/group account system &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;LabVIEW 8 Help, &amp;quot;[http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361A-01/lvtemp/securitydomain/ Security Domains and the Domain Account Manager (Windows)]&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Does not appear to have any relationship to Microsoft NT/Active Directory domains (Windows network accounts/logons)&lt;br /&gt;
* Uses NI-PSP to find domains &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;LabVIEW 8.2 Help, &amp;quot;[http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361B-01/lvconcepts/domain_manager/ Managing Domains Using the Domain Account Manager (Windows)]&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* If you&#039;re not using NI domain accounts, you can disable this service&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== National Instruments PSP Server Locator ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[NI-PSP]] = Publish/Subscribe Protocol &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;LabVIEW 8.2 Help, &amp;quot;[http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361B-01/lvconcepts/ni_psp/ NI-PSP Networking Technology]&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Presumably lets software find PSP servers on the network&lt;br /&gt;
* If you&#039;re not using networking or inter-process communication, you can disable this service&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== National Instruments Time Synchronization ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Presumably lets network computers/equipment keep their clocks in sync&lt;br /&gt;
* Note that many OSes have their own time sync service, which may &amp;quot;fight&amp;quot; with other time sync systems&lt;br /&gt;
* If you don&#039;t need/want NI to sync clocks for you, you can disable this service&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== National Instruments Variable Engine ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* FIXME document this&lt;br /&gt;
* If you&#039;re not using &amp;quot;network published shared variables&amp;quot;, it appears you can disable this service without ill effects&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== NI Configuration Manager ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* What exactly this does is unclear, but many NI components stop working if it isn&#039;t running&lt;br /&gt;
** [[MAX]] will complain &amp;quot;There was a problem connecting to the database&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== OpcEnum ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* OPC = &amp;quot;OLE for Process Control&amp;quot;, a protocol commonly used with industrial automation equipment (e.g., PLCs)&lt;br /&gt;
* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OLE_for_process_control Wikipedia: OLE for Process Control]&lt;br /&gt;
* If you&#039;re not using OPC, you can disable this service&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Lookout Citadel Server ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* FIXME document this&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== NILM License Manager ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* This is part of the network license manager&lt;br /&gt;
* Apparently a semi-custom version of FLEXlm/FLEXnet &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;NI KB 489FTAXT, &amp;quot;[http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/A7E35027BA1C35A7862572B90078BA3E Why Does &amp;quot;NILM License Manager&amp;quot; Show Up in LMTOOLS?]&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* If you&#039;re not using network licenses, you can disable this service.  Stand-alone machine licenses do not need it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== NI-488.2 Enumeration Service ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Populates the &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;GPIB.INI&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; file &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;NI KB 2NPCDRAL, &amp;quot;[http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/8311FFF18B5308ED86256C0200653B3B Using NI-488.2 Troubleshooting Wizard]&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== NI Service Locator ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* This appears to be an NI proprietary port-mapper&lt;br /&gt;
* A &amp;quot;port mapper&amp;quot; is a type of service which lets programs find other services by name, rather than using a fixed TCP port number.&lt;br /&gt;
* Try http://localhost:3580/dumpinfo on the computer running the NI Service Locator&lt;br /&gt;
* NI KB 37BF79OH, [http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/227453F884CE035386256E55007A303D What Is The NI Service Locator And How Do I Troubleshoot?]&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portmap Wikipedia: Portmap] - Another port-mapper (no relation to the NI one)&lt;br /&gt;
* You can disable this service, but anything that uses NI Locator will fail&lt;br /&gt;
** The &amp;quot;Example Finder&amp;quot; feature of several NI products needs this&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

=== NILM License Manager ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* This is part of the network license manager&lt;br /&gt;
* Apparently a semi-custom version of FLEXlm/FLEXnet &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;NI KB 489FTAXT, &amp;quot;[http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/A7E35027BA1C35A7862572B90078BA3E Why Does &amp;quot;NILM License Manager&amp;quot; Show Up in LMTOOLS?]&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== NI-488.2 Enumeration Service ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Populates the &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;GPIB.INI&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; file &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;NI KB 2NPCDRAL, &amp;quot;[http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/8311FFF18B5308ED86256C0200653B3B Using NI-488.2 Troubleshooting Wizard]&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== NI Service Locator ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* This appears to be an NI proprietary port-mapper&lt;br /&gt;
* A &amp;quot;port mapper&amp;quot; is a type of service which lets programs find other services by name, rather than using a fixed TCP port number.&lt;br /&gt;
* Try http://localhost:3580/dumpinfo on the computer running the NI Service Locator&lt;br /&gt;
* NI KB 37BF79OH, [http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/227453F884CE035386256E55007A303D What Is The NI Service Locator And How Do I Troubleshoot?]&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
