PUTTY on Windows 2003 and VMWare ESX virtual machines

#1 08-21-2008, 06:30 AM

Does anyone have experience of running Putty on a Windows 2003 server,
as according to the site www.putty.org there is no version available
for Windows 2003 server.

Also, does anyone have experience of running Putty in a virtual
server, such as a guest on a VMWare ESX host?

Many thanks

Also, the same for WinSCP3 if anyone has any experience.

Thanks

I've used Putty on both Xen and VMware installed guest systems, and
noticed no obvious difference. If you use the newer Kerberos enabled
versions of Putty, life could get interesting: VMware environments
tend to accumulate interesting time skews without VMware Tools
installed, and that breaks Kerberos.

I suppose we should add 2003 server and Vista to the list of
platforms, or give up trying to enumerate Windows versions and just
say `every version of Windows since Windows 95'.

But anyway, yes, PuTTY works on Win2k3.
