I needed to console into my router the other day, only to find Hyperterminal missing. A quick hunt around on the web and I found, it’s been removed from Vista.
Microsoft’s solution for the problem is to use telnet which doesn’t help at all as I need to connect via a com port.
Hyperterminal can still be downloaded for personal use here http://www.hilgraeve.com/htpe/download.html
However I personally use TeraTerm Pro which is a great telnet/shh/console client.
Whilst looking for alternatives I found this fantastic program Poderosa
Poderosa offers many feature’s that TeraTerm Pro lacked. The ability to save connections as shortcuts. This is very appealing as I manage 100’s of devices, which means I can save each connection by company name in a folder. It has a plugin for COM access, and has a tabbed browser sort of interface, which is handy when managing multiple devices.
In other words Poderosa is now going to be my default telnet/shh/console program. It’s Open Source and Free. Download it here.
You also need to have .net 2 installed. You can grab .net 2 from windows updates.

Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 wont run on Vista off the bat, IIS needs to be installed with specific modules. A cheats way around it is to install IIS using the following command line and it will install all the IIS options you need prior to the installation.
Run this command from the command prompt. be careful the text wraps correctly it should be one line.
start /w pkgmgr /l:log.etw /iu:IIS-WebServerRole;IIS-WebServer;IIS-CommonHttpFeatures;IIS-StaticContent;IIS-DefaultDocument;IIS-DirectoryBrowsing;IIS-HttpErrors;IIS-HttpRedirect;IIS-ApplicationDevelopment;IIS-ASPNET;IIS-NetFxExtensibility;IIS-ASP;IIS-CGI;IIS-ISAPIExtensions;IIS-ISAPIFilter;IIS-ServerSideIncludes;IIS-HealthAndDiagnostics;IIS-HttpLogging;IIS-LoggingLibraries;IIS-RequestMonitor;IIS-HttpTracing;IIS-CustomLogging;IIS-ODBCLogging;IIS-Security;IIS-BasicAuthentication;IIS-WindowsAuthentication;IIS-DigestAuthentication;IIS-ClientCertificateMappingAuthentication;IIS-IISCertificateMappingAuthentication;IIS-URLAuthorization;IIS-RequestFiltering;IIS-IPSecurity;IIS-Performance;IIS-HttpCompressionStatic;IIS-HttpCompressionDynamic;IIS-WebServerManagementTools;IIS-ManagementConsole;IIS-ManagementScriptingTools;IIS-ManagementService;IIS-IIS6ManagementCompatibility;IIS-Metabase;IIS-WMICompatibility;IIS-LegacyScripts;IIS-LegacySnapIn;IIS-FTPPublishingService;IIS-FTPServer;IIS-FTPManagement;WAS-WindowsActivationService;WAS-ProcessModel;WAS-NetFxEnvironment;WAS-ConfigurationAPI
Then install Virtual server and it will work fine. Installing IIS manually fails. Even when in compatibility mode.
