hi how we can disable those services in Windows 2003 server? disable NETSTAT,RSTAT,TFTP,RWALL,RUSER,DAYTIME,BOOTPS,FINGER,SPARYD,PCNFSD,WHO service thank you

Hi You can access windows services from , Control Panel> Administrative Tools > Services or type Services.msc in RUN menu. Right click from service and select Disable for StartUp type configuration. But i don't see this services in windows. NETSTAT, FINGER is client tools in windows not service or server tools. Thanks Mohammad Javad Bagdeli

You can also use net stop from Command Prompt to stop services. Here is an example on how to stop Windows Media Services: How to Start and Stop Windows Media Services from the Command Line http://support.microsoft.com/kb/252146/en-us Hope this helps!Please remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.

Go to below mentioned path and check the services file for particular service is running or not. Path : C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc File : services - open this in notepad and check the service if its"#" marked means disabled if not its running. Ex: #echo 7/tcp - Disabled #echo 7/udp - Disabled #discard 9/tcp sink null #discard 9/udp sink null systat 11/tcp users #Active users systat 11/udp users #Active users #daytime 13/tcp - Disabled #daytime 13/udp - Disabled
