The Offline Virtual Machine Servicing Tool was designed to help the organizations maintain virtual machines that are stored offline in a Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager library. While stored, virtual machines do not receive operating system updates.

The tool provides a way to keep offline virtual machines up-to-date so that bringing a virtual machine online does not introduce vulnerabilities into the organizations IT infrastructure.

The Offline Virtual Machine Servicing Tool combines the Windows Workflow programming model with the Windows PowerShell interface to bring groups of virtual machines online just long enough for them to receive updates from either System Center Configuration Manager 2007 or Windows Server Update Services. As soon as the virtual machines are up-to-date, the tool returns them to the offline state in the Virtual Machine Manager library.

This Solution Accelerator includes the following components:
Executive Overview. Available online only on Microsoft Technet. Summary for business and technical managers that briefly explains how this Solution Accelerator can fit into an organizations IT infrastructure management strategy.
OfflineVMServicing_x64 and OfflineVMServicing_x86. Setup files for the tool, for 64 bit and 32 bit versions of Windows Server 2003.
OfflineVirtualMachineServicingToolGettingStartedGuide. Getting Started Guide, in docx and doc formats. Provides information about how the tool works, explains prerequisites for the tool, and describes how to install and configure the tool.
Offline_VM_Servicing_Tool_Release_Notes.rtf. Notes provide information about this release, describe known issues in the tool, and include feedback instructions.

ODS-template contains:

• Description of the report form
• Book options
• Sheet options
• Report separate areas options

There are some specially pointed out areas in the template, where (at creating the report) the data will be put. When the report execution process is started, library Calc ooReport for .Net will load a template, fill in marked beforehand cells by the data from the pointed out sources and will show OpenOffice.org Calc on the screen. After this you can either print the report or save it on the disk as an .ods-file for the further work or analysis.

11. You can get totals for a column of a list range by specifying appropriate option in the column option cell. Calc ooReport for .Net supports the following totals types:
    • SUM - the sum of values in a column;
    • COUNT - the number of items in a column;
    • COUNTNUMS - the number of column cells that contain numeric data;
    • AVG - the average of values in a column;
    • MAX - the largest value in a column;
    • MIN - the smallest value in a column;
    • PRODUCT - the result of multiplying all values in a column;
    • STDEV - an estimate of the standard population deviation, where the column is a sample;
    • STDEVP - a standard population deviation, where the column is the entire population;
    • VAR - an estimate of population variance, where the column is a sample;
    • VARP - the population variance, where the column is the entire population;
