Also termed as IsmServ, Intersite Messaging for Windows NT is a service that allows messages to be exchanged when using more than one computer that is running any Windows Server sites. It primarily features Active Directory, which is used as a support for replication. Once the ismserv.exe file is disabled, deleted or corrupted, the replication of Intersite messaging is not going to work. That explains the important of the file process to remain stored on the computer system, mostly in the folder C:\Program Files, or C:\Windows, and kept running as a background process. It is also possible that other modules may call for this file so they can initiate their own tasks. Regardless, this file needs to launch itself to provide the intended task to enable the software that houses it.
