Windows Server 2008 Telnet Client

Windows Server 2008 does not install a telnet client by default. Apparently, Microsoft has considered this a "feature" and to enable it you must install the client by:

1. Open Server Manager

2. Click on Features > Add new features

3. Scroll down to Telnet Client, check the box

4. Install and voila!

A lot of work to telnet to a switch...
