JSI Tip 2688. How do I restrict users from gaining access to Windows 2000 via Telnet?

When Windows 2000 detects the presence of a local TelnetClients group, only users who are members of this group can access the computer via Telnet, unless they are local administrators.

1. Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Computer Management.

2. Expand Local Users And Groups and select Groups.

3. Press Action and New Group.

4. Type TelnetClients into Group name and enter a Description.

5. Press Add and double-click the users you wish to include.

6. Press OK.

7. Press Create.

8. Press Close.
