Re: report from the Nuts & Bolts party, 2014-08-19 — lots of nuts, lots of bolts

[Marco Tedaldi]

Hello Everyone

I know, I'm a bit late to the party...
I have a Windows Server 2008 running 24/7 (and mostly idling because it
only server licenses to some proprietary software). It's a virtual machine
(XEN) but I think this should not be an issue.

Downside: It is not reachable from the "outside" (behind a firewall beyond
my control).

Would this help?

best regards

Marco
