Ok, been wondrin for a while why the hell telnet is not available in my Windows 7 workstation. I am using telnet a lot so I did some research. Windows 7 disabled the Telnet by default, so basically, the answer is pretty simple.

Win + R and type appwiz.cpl

Turn Windows features on or off

Scroll down and check the Telnet Client box.

Hit OK and you're done. Enjoy!

Basically, you will be able to install any linux operating system using hyper-v, but the main problem is there is no network! I tried to google a bit and found a solution. this is via installation of linux intergration services.

Installing Linux Integration Services Version 2.1 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5

In Hyper-V Manager, configure LinuxIC v21.ISO (located in the directory where you extracted the downloaded files) as a physical CD/DVD drive on the virtual machine.


As the root user, mount the CD in the virtual machine by issuing the following commands at a shell prompt:

mkdir /mnt/cdrom
mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

Copy Linux Integration Services to the virtual machine. For example:

mkdir /opt/linux_ic_v21_rtm
cp –R /mnt/cdrom/* /opt/linux_ic_v21_rtm

As the root user, run the following command to compile and install the synthetic drivers. A reboot is required after installation.

cd /opt/linux_ic_v21_rtm/
make
make install
reboot

and congrats, you have a Linux OS running in Microsoft Hyper-V.
