Do you have any documentation / recommendations or testing information on virtualization machines for scripting?

Hi Kim, This only happens with one McKesson app we use called Practice Plus. I only run that script once a month so it isn't really much of an issues for me.

I have never had any problems with them other then the fact that some windows apps lose focus if the machine gets locked. I just leave them unlocked and minimized on my workstation in order to keep them running. Thanks, Reese Reese E. Walker Lead Financial Systems Analyst Manager, Phoebe Cares Dept.

Or IT area is recommending this; however, for us, we have historically been using PC Anywhere to check on scripts. My understanding is you can no longer do this on a virtual PC... so what are the necessary tools at that point? Any help you can provide would be great.

Users can do funny things - not what you want them to do - like accept a re-bootable automatic update, work in an application that locks up the PC, accidently kick the plug, shut down that little B thing because they don't know what it is, spill coffee on the keyboard. So your scripts will need the unexpected recovery abilities - the tip Brian sent about Status earlier is a definite must do. Virtual machines are a great alternative for maximizing the use of hardware. Regards, Thom Thom C.
