7i server running on a VM for the first time

The request for having the 7i server running on VMware GSX server has finally been completed. The network part of it that I thought would be a problem was actually a very easy deal. the server was setup the same way as any other server. I have to say, GSX is a pretty sweet application. the newest version allows OS access control by assigning permissions to the filesystem on the VM, which allows us to control access to it via AD Auth. if I'm not mistaken, this is a new feature on GSX 3.1 Unrelated to the host OS, and not that this is new, but I find it very odd that SBI never included SSL support for the 7i server until version 7.4. we're currently, and unfortunately, running on 7.3.4, and it would require a whole process to go up to 7.4. in my opinion, very bad security strategy, but I guess we have no choice in that. oh well.
