    Whitebox Setup

    I'll try the cisco router emulator if I end up needing it, but I doubt I will... What do you guys think of Xen virtualisation? Do you think it would be possible to setup ESXi within Xen?

    Virus that is destroying servers...

    The servers infected had not been patched and updated with latest AV. We are using Trend. It was bad management of the infrastructure. A long rebuilding process has begun.

    Virus that is destroying servers...

    The problem is that this virus will not clean no matter what and when it does clean, it removes half the required Windows DLL files. Blah!!! Worst. Virus. EVER.
