What is mDNSResponder.exe or Bonjour?

什么是mDNSResponder.exe或Bonjour？

The mDNSResponder.exe process belongs to the Bonjour for Windows service, which is Apple’s “Zero Configuration Networking” application, typically installed automatically by iTunes. If you’ve ever wondered how one iTunes install can talk to another on the same local network, Bonjour is what actually does this behind the scenes.

mDNSResponder.exe進程屬于Bonjour for Windows服務，該服務是Apple的“零配置網絡”應用程序，通常由iTunes自動安裝。 如果您曾經想知道一個iTunes安裝如何與同一個本地網絡上的另一個iTunes通信，那么Bonjour實際上是在幕后進行的操作。

Don’t use iTunes? You aren’t alone, and that’s not the only way that Bonjour gets installed on your computer. It’s also bundled in a whole bunch of other software, like Pidgin, Skype, and Safari, and used to connect clients together on the same network.

不使用iTunes？ 您并不孤單，這不是Bonjour安裝在計算機上的唯一方式。 它還捆綁在許多其他軟件中，例如Pidgin，Skype和Safari，并用于將同一網絡上的客戶端連接在一起。

It’s implemented as a Windows Service, which you can see if you head into the services panel (or just type services.msc into the start menu search box). You can stop it from here anytime.

它作為Windows服務實現，您可以查看是否進入服務面板(或僅在開始菜單搜索框中鍵入services.msc)。 您可以隨時從這里停止它。

The whole problem we have is that it generally doesn’t show up in Add / Remove Programs, so you can’t get rid of it through any normal methods. Thankfully you can still remove mDNSResponder.exe if you really want to, and it will simply limit some of the functionality in the apps that might rely on it.

我們遇到的整個問題是，它通常不會顯示在“添加/刪除程序”中，因此您無法通過任何常規方法擺脫它。 值得慶幸的是，如果您確實愿意，仍然可以刪除mDNSResponder.exe，它將僅限制可能依賴該應用程序的某些功能。

Important: Don’t remove Bonjour if you use iTunes to share libraries, or any other feature from an application that relies on it.

重要提示：如果您使用iTunes共享庫或依賴它的應用程序中的任何其他功能，請不要刪除Bonjour。

How Do I Remove It?

如何刪除它？

First, it should be noted that you can disable Bonjour without necessarily removing it—just head into the Services panel, double-click on the service, and change the Startup type to Disabled.

首先，應該注意的是，您可以禁用Bonjour，而不必將其刪除-只需進入“服務”面板，雙擊該服務，然后將“啟動”類型更改為“禁用”即可。

This is probably your best bet if you don’t really want to break anything—if you have problems you can always re-enable it.

如果您真的不想破壞任何東西，這可能是最好的選擇-如果遇到問題，可以隨時重新啟用它。

Alright, How Do I Really Remove It?

好吧，我如何真正將其刪除？

Let’s get down to business. If you’re absolutely sure you want to remove it, it’s really pretty simple. Open up a command prompt in administrator mode (right-click and choose Run as Administrator), and then change into the installation directory, usually the following:

讓我們轉到工作上。 如果您完全確定要刪除它，那確實很簡單。 在管理員模式下打開命令提示符(右鍵單擊并選擇以管理員身份運行)，然后切換到安裝目錄，通常是以下內容：

\Program Files\Bonjour

\ Program Files \ Bonjour

If you are using Vista or Windows 7 x64 edition, you’ll need to head into the Program Files (x86) folder instead. Now that you are there, type in the following command to see the options:

如果您使用的是Vista或Windows 7 x64版本，則需要轉到Program Files(x86)文件夾。 現在您已經在這里，鍵入以下命令以查看選項：

mDNSResponder.exe /?

mDNSResponder.exe /？

Ah, so now we know what to do to remove it! Simply type in the following:

啊，所以現在我們知道該如何刪除它了！ 只需輸入以下內容：

mDNSResponder.exe –remove

mDNSResponder.exe –刪除

You’ll get a message saying that the service has been removed. (Note again that you need an Administrator mode command prompt)

您將收到一條消息，指出該服務已被刪除。 (再次注意，您需要管理員模式命令提示符)

You’ll want to also disable the DLL file in the directory by renaming it to something else:

您還需要通過重命名為其他名稱來禁用目錄中的DLL文件：

ren mdnsNSP.dll mdnsNSP.blah

ren mdnsNSP.dll mdnsNSP.blah

You should be able to actually remove that entire directory if you really want to.

如果確實需要，您應該實際上可以刪除整個目錄。

Wait, How Do I Enable It Again?

等待，如何再次啟用它？

Oh, so your favorite application broke? No matter, you can easily re-install the Bonjour service with the following command:

哦，所以您喜歡的應用程序壞了？ 沒關系，您可以使用以下命令輕松地重新安裝Bonjour服務：

mDNSResponder.exe -install

mDNSResponder.exe-安裝

But I Deleted It!

但是我刪除了！

See, you really shouldn’t delete things until you are sure they aren’t useful anymore. That’s why renaming is a good thing. Thankfully you can simply head over to Apple’s page and install Bonjour again.

瞧，在確定它們不再有用之前，您實際上不應該刪除它們。 這就是為什么重命名是一件好事。 值得慶幸的是，您可以直接轉到Apple頁面并再次安裝Bonjour。
