As a Network Inspector with us, you?ll be the eyes and ears of the network. You will be responsible for identifying and logging defects of network assets. You?ll also assist in preparing the. The “Microsoft Network Realtime Inspection Service” process, also known as NisSrv.exe, is part of Microsoft’s antivirus software. This process is also present on Windows 7 if you’ve installed the Microsoft Security Essentials antivirus software. The Network Performance Inspector allows you to examine the network performance among hosts and clusters managed by an instance of Cloudera Manager.
-->This article describes a by-design behavior where the Microsoft Network Inspection service may be stopped by Active Directory Group Policy.
Original product version: Microsoft System Center 2012 Configuration Manager
Original KB number: 2688238
Symptoms
Consider the following scenario:
- A Microsoft System Center 2012 Configuration Manager administrator sets the Enable protection against network-based exploits option to True and then deploys the policy to a collection of devices. This option is part of the real-time protection item on the Antimalware tab for the Microsoft Forefront Endpoint Protection (FEP) policies in the Configuration Manager console.
- Then, the Configuration Manager client sets the start of the Microsoft Network Inspection service to Automatic on all devices in the target collection.
- An Active Directory administrator configures Group Policy to set the start for the Microsoft Network Inspection service to Disabled.
In this scenario, when the Group Policy settings are applied, the Microsoft Network Inspection service is stopped, and the start of the service is set to Disabled. When the Configuration Manager client evaluates client health and determines that the service is disabled, it remediates the problem by setting the start of the service to Automatic and starts the service again. However, the service soon stops again because the service is stopped by the Active Directory Group Policy.
Status
This behavior is by design. Group Policy settings to disable services should be carefully evaluated together with the Configuration Manager group or the System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection group to make sure that these settings don't disable services for required functionalities.

Amazon Inspector is an automated security assessment service that helps improve the security and compliance of applications deployed on AWS. Amazon Inspector automatically assesses applications for exposure, vulnerabilities, and deviations from best practices. After performing an assessment, Amazon Inspector produces a detailed list of security findings prioritized by level of severity. These findings can be reviewed directly or as part of detailed assessment reports which are available via the Amazon Inspector console or API.
Network Inspector App
Amazon Inspector security assessments help you check for unintended network accessibility of your Amazon EC2 instances and for vulnerabilities on those EC2 instances. Amazon Inspector assessments are offered to you as pre-defined rules packages mapped to common security best practices and vulnerability definitions. Examples of built-in rules include checking for access to your EC2 instances from the internet, remote root login being enabled, or vulnerable software versions installed. These rules are regularly updated by AWS security researchers.
