Found this article on how to dispay usefull information in the logon banner. http://www.xtravirt.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=73&Itemid=67 I love it. It’s always nice to be presented with information about your system A. Mikkelsen
Someone informed me on this very usefull add-on for Virtual Center 2.x. VCplus          – http://www.run-virtual.com/?page_id=184 Haven’t tried it myself yet, but i will during next week. I think that this add-on is a step in the right direction. Mayby VMware should implement this add-on in VC. Nice job Richard …. Keep it up…. A. Mikkelsen
