Difficulty: HardWindows Control Panel Utilities

A desktop support technician is configuring a Windows 11 Pro workstation for a network administrator who needs to manage legacy network hardware using the built-in command-line Telnet Client and host a test site using Internet Information Services (IIS). When the administrator attempts to execute the telnet command in Command Prompt, an error states that the command is not recognized. Which of the following Control Panel applets must the technician access to enable these optional operating system components?

  1. Programs and FeaturesAnswer
  2. B
    Administrative Tools
  3. C
    Network and Sharing Center
  4. D
    System

Answer

Programs and Features
Programs and Features includes the 'Turn Windows features on or off' option in its left navigation pane. This utility allows system administrators to enable or disable optional operating system features, such as the Telnet Client, Hyper-V, Internet Information Services (IIS), and SMB 1.0 support, without downloading external software.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the technical requirement
The goal is to enable Telnet Client and IIS, which are built-in optional Windows components disabled by default.
Optional feature binaries are stored locally in the Windows component store but require administrative activation.
2
Identify the correct Control Panel applet
Navigate to Control Panel and select Programs and Features.
Programs and Features provides entry to management tasks for installed software and optional OS features.
3
Configure the optional features
Click 'Turn Windows features on or off' in the left pane, check the boxes for Telnet Client and Internet Information Services, and click OK.
This process instructs Windows to enable the required binaries without requiring external installation media.
