Telnet Client Windows 7

Today I got a requirement from our Network Support Team. As part of their day - day activities, they need to troubleshoot network related issues by using Telnet.

But one of my colleagues didn't find telnet in Windows 7 system. He was upset as the telnet client is not installed by default and asked me to apply some GPO to enable the same.

Instead of configuring a GPO, below command can be executed by a batch file, psexec, startup/logon script.

pkgmgr /iu:"TelnetClient"
