I want to comment on a statement made in the latest Boston Workstation newsletter. Thom states:
"Virtualization software that creates virtual servers is fundamentally incompatible for screen based automation. This is because virtual servers are highly tuned to favor background processes." This is basically true however not entirely. With Windows servers it is possible to adjust the settings to make the priority be for programs or background services. I have been running multiple scripts on a Windows 2003 VM for a few years and it works quite well. Often there are 3 - 5 scripts running simultaneously. So if you run on a VM server, tune your server for best performance. Have a great weekend!
