> The only thing missing would be hardware power down. if that can be done > via DRAC, that'll be an advantage :) Yes, you get that too. Full hardware power down. Wait as long as you want, then power the machine up. It's not the same as a remote reboot where you HOPE the server comes up far enough to get a console session. Plus you don't need anything mote than an Ethernet connection to your existing infrastructure to make it all work. If you are paranoid and/or have a lot of servers, you can put all the DRAC ports on a separate subnet and their own VPN... Ralph
