<br> In Windows 2003 and older versions of Windows, the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) <br> Locator service manages the RPC name service database. In Windows Vista and newer <br> versions of Windows, this service does not provide any functionality and is present for <br> application compatibility. <br> <br> This is a legacy service that has no value or purpose other than application compatibility <br> for very old software. It should be disabled unless there is a specific old application still in <br> use on the system that requires it. <br> Fixtext: <br> Fix: <br> (1) GPO: Computer ConfigurationWindows SettingsSecurity SettingsSystem ServicesRemote Procedure Call (RPC) Locator <br> <br> (2) REG: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesRpcLocator!Start <br>
