How can I enable/activate commandline telnet without having admin privileges? I don't wish to use putty. I wish to use native telnet that starts from commandline.
This is not necessarily the answer to activate telnet, but this does answer how to get telnet working from commandlline on windows 7 without having admin privileges and without putty.
Answer is pretty simple:
Install cygwin with inetutils for telnet http://www.question-defense.com/2010/11/30/install-telnet-using-cygwin-on-windows-7,
Add cygwin bin to my local env PATH variable https://superuser.com/questions/25037/change-environment-variables-as-standard-user-windows-7

I am trying to get homebrew installed remotely on a machine without a terminal open and without ssh access to the machine. Our company uses a Directory-as-a-Service which allows us to remotely push shell scripts to our computers which is great, but it requires the scripts to have no interactivity.
Is there a way to automate the installer and remove the “Press enter to continue” prompt in the install process?
Thanks,

The env variable CI seems to silence this prompt:
export CI=1
I have this error while trying to launch the command ./runInstaller
Can't connect to X11 window server using ':0.0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable.
From Oracle help docs:
sudo yum install xorg-x11-utils -y
worked for me.
If you are executing this via Putty, then I suggest you have a look at Xming, this allows you to have a Putty remote ssh session, and forward your display to you Windows machine...
If you're executing this from a Linux server without a gui, you will either need to connect remotely with a pc with a GUI installed (Gnome, KDE, etc) or you'll need to install the Gui directly on the server.
Check if it's not already installed by using the command on the terminal
$ startx
Error is reproducible thus:
$ export DISPLAY=:0.0
$ ./runInstaller
ERROR: Unable to verify the graphical display setup. This application requires X display. Make sure that xdpyinfo exist under PATH variable.
Can't connect to X11 window server using ':0.0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable.
OP's X server was Hummingbird Exceed. Xming will work as well.
The actual solution depends on:
whether you are su'd to oracle from a different login account.
whether you are using X11 forwarding.
the actual port used by X11 forwarding, which could be 6010 or a different port.
If you logged in and then su'd to oracle, then copy ~/.Xauthority to the oracle account.
If you are using X11 forwarding and the forwarding port is 6010, then DISPLAY=localhost:10.0 is correct.
If you are not using X11 forwarding, and if port 6000 on your PC is reachable from the oracle server, then export DISPLAY=your.pc.ip.address:0.0 is correct.
Install xterm and use xterm to test X windows.
Be sure to install xdpyinfo.

Is there any way to transfer files to a remote windows machine using winrm / powershell or any native windows commands?
I have a Chef knife-windows installed on one of the Linux machine. I want to transfer files from the linux machine to the windows machine using knife winrm or any native windows commands without installing any additional packages on the windows machine.
I tried to cat a file & pipe it to the knife winrm command and do a Set-Content or Out-File powershell commands, but it was not working as expected.
If you have admin access to the Windows boxes you can always copy files to an administrative share via SMB.
From PowerShell
knife winrm -m <IP> -x <USER> -P <PASS> "echo $(gc .\secret_key)>c:\secret_key"
You have to remember, that main issues is that regardless of your execution context (powershell / bash shell) the destination will always be CMD. So you gotta play by the destination rules.
$(gc .\secret_key) gets the contents of the file locally, and echo is executed remotely.
I am trying to login on my ubuntu server from windows pc using putty ssh but it says connection refused.
I am able lo login on ubuntu using command
$ ssh root#MY-IP-ADDRESS
not able to login using remote server.
Please Help me.
I was having the same issue and nothing was working for me to connect to ec2 linux instance from Windows 7. Here is how i was finally able to connect.
1.) Download puttygen.exe and create a .ppk file from your .pem file that you downloaded from amazon.
2.) Use FireSSH (plug-in for Firefox), put in your host name, use 'ubuntu' (minus the quotes) for the Login, leave password blank and enter the location of the .ppk you created from puttygen.exe
Note: Oddly enough i was not able to connect using putty.exe but the private key it generates works fine with FireSSH
Did you install openssh-server ?
aptitude install openssh-server
Then also check you don't have firewall running on your Ubuntu.
Is it possible to run a windows xp bat script remotely from a ubuntu machine via command line?
This is possible if you have an ssh server running on the WinXP machine. It is trivial to set up such a server if you have installed Cygwin. This is well described here.
Then from an Ubuntu command line (or cron job) you run
ssh user#winxp command
Make sure your .bat has executable permissions.
I think that the technology you are after is WMI. I see that there is an ubuntu package called wmi-client, which you can sudo apt-get install and attempt to you. Some quick searches and I'm unable to find details, but maybe that will get you somewhere....
You would probably use something like remote desktop, and if you did it that way, it would work, but your question isn't very specific
