This may be a tough thing. We use, as many companies, VMWare. I definitely want to inventory these virtual systems, but it would be nice if there was a special category for them. Right now there are designations for Laptops and Servers. I think a designation for Virtual Machine, be it VMWare or MS Virtual PC or other, would be helpful. Most of our VMs are servers, but increasingly our developers are using VMs for testing and development environments.

Wait till you see OAv2 !!!!
It has dynamic groups (based on an attribute), static groups (systems you manually select) and "pre made" groups.

One of the "pre-made" groups is, indeed, Virtual Machines. I am just scanning for some known hardware (vmware NIC being one), and saying "if it has this hardware, it is a VM, so put it in the group". Another example is "mail servers" - think Exchange, Zimbra, Sendmail, etc... DNS Servers, DHCP Servers, Database Servers.... there are a few pre-made groups that already work.

I don't see why OAv1 couldn't do what it does at the moment, for laptops... I think that part is similar. The Groups functionality though, is WAY more code.... It's one of the reasons for the re-write.

When will I have something to show..... still not sure. My personal (professional) life has been through some up's and down's lately. I now have a job (again), but it's been a bit turbulent. So, maybe a few more weeks for an alpha.

:D
