Information
In Windows 2003 and older versions of Windows, the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Locator service manages the RPC name service database. In Windows Vista or newer versions of Windows, this service does not provide any functionality and is present for application compatibility.
The recommended state for this setting is: Disabled
This is a legacy service that has no value or purpose other than application compatibility for very old software. It should be disabled unless there is a specific old application still in use on the system that requires it.
Solution
To establish the recommended configuration, run the following PowerShell command:
Set-Service -Name RpcLocator -StartupType Disabled
Impact:
No impact, unless an old, legacy application requires it.
