+To use this task against the WinNT telnet service, you need to configure the service to use 
+classic authentication rather than NTLM negotiated authentication. 
+This can be done in the Telnet Server Admin app: 
+select "display/change registry settings", then "NTLM", then set the value of NTLM to 1.
