This is for all you IT support people … no, I don’t have to use the ‘telnet’ command often, but when I do, I expect it to be there! So, lo and behold, I have an emergency issue with a client’s SBS/Exchange server today, and I find that I cannot do a simple ‘telnet’ from my Vista workstation.
Why? Microsoft decided that it was a necessary tool to be installed by default.
To solve this problem, go to Control Panel, then Programs, then under Program and Features select Turn Windows Features On/Off, then scroll down and click to select the Telnet Client.
Hope this helps!
Thanks, this is just what I needed.
found you through a google search. exactly the answer i needed. thanks!
I was using NC.exe 🙂 but it is not with me when I need it, so thanks for this tweak.
nice one boss!
