Remote Administration Service starts performing the appropriate tasks when requested by the Remote Server Manager service through a COM interface. Remote Administration Service runs in the LocalSystem account and accepts requests through the COM interface only from clients running under the Administrators or LocalSystem accounts.

If this service is stopped or disabled, some remote administration tools or features might not function properly, such as the Web interface for remote administration.
