When I connect from my PC to the windows server 2008 just using the PC console with the telnet command, and once I am on the server I do another telnet command to another device it works fine.

But when I use putty from my PC to telnet to the windows server 2008, and once I am on the server I try to do a telnet command to another device it does not work, it does not recognize the telnet command.

Anyone has a clue why this is happening?

Thanks in advance.

Regards, Al.

The telent client is not installed by default. So the most likely answer is that it is not installed.

Telnet is a horribly insecure protocol, you should not be using it in any production capacity. If you need to remotely use a Windows machine use WinRM via Powershell.

  • Hello. Telnet is enabled, we checked that. Thanks. – Alex Sep 15 '14 at 18:43
  • Well, then check your paths. Try using a fully qualified path when running telnet. – Zoredache Sep 15 '14 at 19:55
  • The issue is that telnet works when we connect to the server from a pc command prompt. – Alex Sep 16 '14 at 19:05
  • It does not work when we use putty from a pc to connect to the server. I mean, we connect to the server, but the telnet command does not work. – Alex Sep 16 '14 at 19:06
  • Update your question and add some screenshots or something. It simply isn't clear to me what your problem is. – Zoredache Sep 16 '14 at 19:08
  • ok, first scenario: from my pc I open the cmd and type telnet 10.10.10.1 (windows server). It works, and then I type telnet 10.10.10.2 (other device) and it works. – Alex Sep 18 '14 at 18:37
  • second scenario: From my pc I open putty and start a telnet connection to 10.10.10.1 (windows server). It works, and then I type telnet 10.10.10.2 (other device) and it does not recognize the command, so it does not work. – Alex Sep 18 '14 at 18:39
