iiswindows-vista
My friend accidentally bought a laptop with Windows Vista Home Basic Edition. He figured out how to install IIS on it, but it doesn't seem to have either the management console or the admin tools. Is there any way for him to configure a site or import an IIS 6 config file?
EDIT: "Windows Vista Home Edition" –> "Windows Vista Home Basic Edition".
You need to turn on Windows Features on for IIS 6.0 configuration
Just go Programs and Features > Turn Windows Features On or Off.
In opened window choose which configuration is you want to configure your web application
For more information about IIS7 go to IIS.NET
Check out IIS Express.
I have fallen in love with it and I'm sure you will to.

Not entirely certain here, but start the IIS console on another machine and tell it to connect to the laptop? The normal management console snap-ins all support remote operation.
