5. How do you protect offline virtual machines from security threats? Virtual Machine Management - Offline Servicing Challenges Dormant VM’s Misses Tuesday’s security patch; wakes up to a virus attack on Wednesday Infected VM attacks network Did not get the memo and is now out of compliance Enterprises can have hundreds of dormant VM’s offline for extended periods

6. Servicing VM’s is largely manual Some product support exists, but IT Pros left to do integration No standard Microsoft tools to automate process - administrators write their own Support for newer client platforms emerging but lack of support for older platforms - W2K3, XP, Vista, WS08

7. Un-patched VM can lower productivity while waiting for started VM to be patched VM’s can increase risk of error, security breach unless properly patched Lower Productivity  cost Higher Risk  Mitigation cost Proactive patching of offline VM’s fight cost

8. Automatically services dormant VMs Applies service patches to OS & applications Integration of System Center Products System Center Virtual Machine Manager (VMM 2007, VMM 2008) Configuration Manager (2007, SP1, R2) Windows server update service (3.0,SP1)

9. Admin user interface for selecting VM’s to patch UI screens developed using System Center User Interface framework Automating common patching tasks (Move VM, Start VM, Apply Patch, Shutdown VM etc.) Using Power shell cmdlets Requesting update client for an updated policy Using SDK for ConfigMgr Using WMI for WSUS Status reporting Support W2K3, XP, Vista, WS08 and R2 VM’s Support for Virtual Server and Hyper-V environments
