www.BlackViper.com: Windows Vista Service Pack 2 Services 411 - Telnet

Telnet

Default Description:

Enables a remote user to log on to this computer and run programs, and supports various TCP/IP Telnet clients, including UNIX-based and Windows-based computers. If this service is stopped, remote user access to programs might be unavailable. If this service is disabled, any services that explicitly depend on it will fail to start.

Additional Information:

Not installed by default, but if needed, you may install it later off the Windows Vista CD/DVD under Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features > Turn Windows features on or off > Check "Telnet Server".

This service, even after installation, defaults to Disabled (which is not a bad thing).

Additional Reading:

None at this time.
