Hi Marius, I have tried what you say but for me it doesn´t work, I get the error that the VM doesn´t exist.. I´m going on xmas holidays, so I hope the new year 2010 comes with more luck with the REHV, so, see you next year and merry Christmas for all :-) ESG 2009/12/23 Marius Pana <marius.pana@xxxxxxxxxxx> > Hi ESG, > > It's a bit tricky.
