to some extent i concur with the above sentiments. i actually use the old service method, i don't use systemd. e.g perfect use case in cloud environment where you need the instance to automatically start everything if you have an instance stop/start schedule to contain costs. As for Production, i have never implemented a script and prefer a controlled operation. This is mostly because Cache is too finicky when it comes to start-ups, and preferably you need to be present.

Thanks Alex, i got it and configured the way i envisaged.

Thanks Alex, i did a netstat -anb > openports.txt before and after.

So other than disabling in CACHE, there are no traces at Windows OS level? Any setting related to Telnet that was opened/configured at OS level, when Cache was installed/started?
