Enabling telnet on W2K3 server?

[siriussatelliteradio]

I know this is probably a lame question...but how do I enable my server to allow telnet connections? Do I need to enable routing and remote access?


Thanks.

Also the telnet service is not listed with all the services if you were going to tell me to just enable the service. I already checked that.


Thank you.

Sorry - posted just as you were posting your follow up. This may be a long shot, but maybe it applies to your problem:

You should forego using Telnet and implement an OpenSSH server on your Windows 2003 box. Telnet is a ridiculously un-secure protocol and should not be deployed (especially under Windows)

I googled "telnet service missing" and got this:

APPLIES TO W2000 but...

Try to restore the Telnet files from the Windows CD. For example, here are the commands you would use to restore the required files if C:\WINDOWS is the system folder, and D is the source CD:

C:\>copy D:\I386\telnet.exe C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32
C:\>expand -r D:\I386\tlntsvr.ex_ C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32
C:\>expand -r D:\I386\tlntsvrp.dl_ C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32
C:\>expand -r D:\I386\tlntsess.ex_ C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32
