Windows7 How to turn on the Telnet service

Telnet is a common remote login and administration tool used by system administrators and is integrated into the system as a standard system component for users in Windows 2000/xp/2003/vista systems. However, by default, the Telnet service is prohibited, and typically we simply run services.msc to open service management, find the Telnet service item to set its startup type to "Manual" or "Automatic," and then start the service to use. In Windows7, however, you cannot find and enable the Telnet service by using the above method. How do you get back the win 7 telnet feature?

Installing Win 7 telnet and Windows Server 2008 are slightly different, and you can do this by doing the following. Click "Start" → "Control Panel" → "Program", "in the program and function" to find and click on "Turn on or off Windows features" into the Windows Feature Settings dialog box. Locate and tick the Telnet client, and finally "OK" for a moment to complete the installation. In addition, we can install "TFTP client", "Internet information Service" and so on through the wizard.

When the installation is complete, the Telnet service is disabled by default. You also need to perform "start" → "Run" and enter Services.msc to open the service Manager. Locate and double-click the Telnet service entry to set it to start as manual (more secure, only enabled when needed), and finally "start" the service "OK" to exit.
Workaround for Telnet under WINDOWS 7 system
Telnet is a common remote login and administration tool used by system administrators in Windows
The 2000/xp/2003/vista system is integrated into the system as a standard system component for user use. The Telnet service is prohibited by default, and typically we simply run services.msc to open service management, find the Telnet service entry to set its startup type to "Manual" or "Auto", and then start the service. However, in Windows 7, you cannot find and enable the Telnet service by using the above method.   So how do you get back the Telnet feature of Windows 7? 1. Hide the reason
In fact, not having Telnet in the service Manager is not Windows 7 discarding telnet, but Windows 7 does not have the Telnet service installed by default. This is the first time Microsoft has removed Telnet from the system default component from a personal system, similar to Windows Server 2008. I think Microsoft should do this for security reasons, after all, Telnet data is transmitted in clear text, attackers and easy access to sensitive information through sniffing.   Based on security considerations, it is recommended that you use a more secure, encrypted SSH remote management approach. 2. Install Telnet
However, we also do not need to be unworthy, as a personal user telnet is very convenient. Installing Telnet under Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 is slightly different, and you can do this by using the following procedure. Click "Start" → "Control Panel" → "Program", "in the program and function" to find and click on "Turn on or off Windows features" into the Windows Feature Settings dialog box. Locate and tick the Telnet client and Telnet server, and finally "OK" for a moment to complete the installation. In addition, we can install "TFTP client", "Internet information Service" and so on through the wizard.
When the installation is complete, you can test whether Telnet is available and you can use it in general.

If you still can't use Telnet, continue to do the following: "Start" → "Run", enter services.msc to open the service Manager. Locate and double-click the Telnet service entry to set it to start as manual (more secure, only enabled when needed), and finally "start" the service "OK" to exit. 3, set Telnet
With a seamless combination of Telnet and system firewalls in Windows 7, we can implement custom controls to enhance Telnet security. Click "Start" → "All Programs" → "Advanced Security Windows Firewall", and enter the firewall Settings window. Click Inbound Rules in the left pane, locate Telnet Server in the middle pane, right-click the rule and choose Properties to enter its property settings window. By clicking on the "General" tab, we can see that the firewall allows all Telnet connections by default. For security reasons, we choose "Allow the connection if it is Sevure" (only allow secure connections), and then you can customize the security rules. Click on the "Computer" tab, under which we can set up the computers and exception computers that authorize Telnet connection. Click on the Scope tab, where we can set up local and remote IP to control the Telnet connection. Click on the "Users" tab, under which we can add users who can telnet remotely. 4. Connection test
To verify the validity of the Telnent setting in Windows 7, we tested it by using a Windows Visata host to Telnet to this Windows 7 host. Under Vista command line, enter the command:
After "Telnet 92.168.1.100", you are prompted to enter a user name (which is set only to allow JP users to log on) and password to see a successful login. This indicates that the Telnet installation was successful and that our firewall settings are in effect.
Summary: Although Telnet security is not very high, its security has been greatly enhanced through seamless integration with Windows 7 firewalls. In fact, all network-related tools in Windows 7 can be combined closely with firewalls.
