All versions of Microsoft Windows Server 2003 operating systems include Telnet Client and Telnet Server components. Using Telnet Client and Server, you can create a remote command console session on a host. You can run command line programs, shell commands, and scripts in a remote command console session just as though you were locally logged on to the host and using a local command prompt window.
