I often use the telnet command to verify ports on webservers, smtp gateways and RPC traffic. Telnet isn't installed by default on a Windows 7 workstation so I need a way of quickly install it (and on secure systems also remove it).
Install
- Open an elevated cmd prompt
- Enter "start /w pkgmgr /iu:TelnetClient"
Uninstall
- Open an elevated cmd prompt
- Enter "start /w pkgmgr /uu:TelnetClient"

"Operation failed with 0x80070057

i have given command like this:-
start /W pkgmgr /ui:TelnetClient
Hello Bob,
It's a typo in my post. You should use the following command for installing the Telnet client:
start /w pkgmgr /iu:TelnetClient
(I have also corrected the blog post).
No operation is performed after i type the command . what to do?
Hello Nidhi,
Are you running in an elevated commandprompt ?
Do you get any errormessages ?
Are you entering it Case Sensitive ?
Is all is installing you can try run telnet.exe to see if the binaries are installed.
