Hi
My os is windows 2003 server and I want to turn on telnet server on my computer,I have started the telnet service in AdministratorTools->Services
But when I use telnet.exe on another computer to telnet the server,it told me that
"Failure in initializing the telnet session. Shell process may not have been launched.
Telnet Server has closed the connection" even I typed the administrator's username and password correctly!
What's wrong with it?
Thanks

Do not follow these steps on a Microsoft Windows Server 2003-based domain controller because the tlntsvr /service command to reinstall the service will not work. The command calls the computername\Telnetclient group, but this group does not exist on domain controllers. In Windows Server 2003, you must demote the domain controller to a member server, run the tlntsvr /service command to reinstall the service, and then repromote the server to a domain controller.
