[Tutor] WMI

[Spencer Parker]

What I am doing is this:

We have a web interface where people can provision virtual machines.
Currently we do this with Linux machines and it sets a unique IP, username,
startup services, and a password.  This is all triggered at startup of the
linux machines with perl and an xml file.  We are trying to replicate this
with Windows.  Setting the IP and creating the user's is pretty easy...and
that code you sent me did basically everything with some tweaking.  When
someone goes to the web interface it triggers some Expect scripts that log
into the linux xen machine and trigger the whole process.  We have a windows
VM now that will control the process for Windows VM's.
