I am trying to follow the exercise and now I just discovered that I can not follow the steps, as I am using Vista Ultimate, and Vista does not have Messenger Service.

Do you know of a way around this?

Greatly appreciated

Many people have the same problems because Vista has dropped this feature maybe for security reasons...
I think your problem is only that Vista is not able to receive messages that are sent from another server (maybe W2k3) via net send command - right?
Here is a link for a tool to make Vista able to receive those messages.
But I have not tried it myself...
