Need IPSEC Polict Agent?

F

foleylink

I run Windows 2000 Pro/SP4 on a stand-alone notebook
computer. In about one out of every four or five system
startups, when I check the System Log, I notice two error
messages "IPSEC PolicyAgent Service couldn't be started:
Oakley failed to start" and "IPSEC PolicyAgent Service:
Driver failed to start."

From Services I can start the IPSEC Policy Agent after
boot-up with no problem. My question is - do I need this
service running, or can I just disable it, and avoid the
error messages. I don't know if it is essential

This Service is for IPSec. If you are not in an environment that runs
IPSec, then the service can be disabled.
