If you haven't already seen the Microsoft Offline Virtual Machine Servicing Tool 2.1 (OVMST) you don't know what you are missing!

Built around System Centre Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) and Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) or System Centre Configuration Manager (SCCM) this Solution Accelerator schedules updates to for VMs that are archived or offline.

This updated version provides support of:

• SCVMM 2008 R2

• Windows 7

For those that are interested you can see a recording of me demoing (the previous version) here.

If you missed the Brisbane Infrastructure Group last night you can checkout the Live Meeting recording (https://www112.livemeeting.com/cc/microsoft/viewRecordings, recording id BDT4KQ) and see the my presentation on "Managing Virtual Environments using System Centre Virtual Machine Manager".

And lastly thank you to everyone who provided words of wisdom and the BIG team for the presentation spot.

Enjoy :)
