Too many changes from Vista to Windows 7. Some of the following modifications are for both OS’s.
3-1: steps 4 and 5 don’t take you to the right place
 However if you look up advanced tools in your start box it should take you to the correct place.
Then keep going as the directions tell you

Button, then select “Detail View” \

Step 19

After downloading the rtf document, go to:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=5534bee1-3cad-4bf0-b92ba8e545573a3e&displaylang=en to download the actual files.
3-5: SKIP THIS PROJECT IN BOTH OS’S
3-6
 The Baseline Security Analyzer that is compatible with windows is located at
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=b1e76bbe-71df-41e8-8b52c871d012ba78&displaylang=en . Select EN-x86 for our configuration (32-bit). Works, but
errors still come up as “some tasks could not be completed” – seems that they were, though.
May work better in Vista.
Chapter 4- COMPLETE ALL LABS
4-1
EXCEPT AS NOTED
In step 10 – you may not be able to find the requested packet as the information may be
encrypted. See if you can find it and if not- see all the other traffic passing through Wireshark
4-2 : SKIP THIS PROJECT IN BOTH OS’S
4-3
This is an interesting lab but does not always work. Try it out. If the hosts address does not
resolve to the correct ip address, there may be a configuration that is not using the hosts table the same
way on all operating systems. Perhaps DNS is set to “over-ride” the host table. See what your results are
in both Win 7 and Vista
