+This framework uses a VMware Server hosted Windows guest VM to test the
+behaviour of Windows -> Samba and Samba -> Windows interactions. To setup a
+Windows host for testing, vm_setup.tar.gz contain some scripts which create
+an administrative user account, and enable and start the installed telnet
+service on the Windows host. Optionally, the hostname and workgroup name can
+also be set. vm_setup.tar.gz is currently located in the SOC/bnh branch of
+Samba's SVN repository.
+
+PREREQUISITES
+
+To use these scripts, VMware Server needs to be running with a Windows guest
+VM installed, IP addressed, and VMware tools needs to be installed and running
+on the guest VM. The Windows OS I used to test with was Windows Server 2003,
+but I think this should work with any version of Windows that has the
+Microsoft telnet service installed. The VMware Server versions I used for
+testing was 1.0.0 build-27828, and 1.0.0 build-28343.
+
+PLEASE NOTE: Due to problems with my original revert_snapshot() code, the initial
+setup now requires that the VM configuration setting 'When Powering Off' is
+manually set to 'Revert to snapshot' (snapshot.action="autoRevert" in the
+guest's .vmx file).  This should not be a permanent change, but the original
+revert_snapshot() code I wrote no longer works and i'm not sure why.
+
+On the machine that these scripts are running on (this need not be the same
+machine as the VMware host), the VMware perl scripting api needs to be
+installed, as well as the vix-perl api. These come with the VMware Server
+console package.
+
+After unzipping this file, the libraries are installed by extracting the
+VMware-vix-e.x.p-<revision number>.tar.gz and
+VMware-VmPerlAPI-e.x.p-<revision number>.tar.gz archives, and running the
+vmware-install.pl scripts inside their respective directories.
+
+On Slackware 10.2, I encountered a problem in that when I tried to use the vix
+api libraries, I would get the following error:
+
+SSLLoadSharedLibrary: Failed to load library /<client program directory>/libcrypto.so.0.9.7:/<client program directory>/libcrypto.so.0.9.7: cannot open a shared object file: No such file or directory.
+
+The fix found on the VMware knowledge base (search http://kb.vmware.com for
+Doc ID: 1837104) states that it's a known problem with the scripting libraries,
+and can be resolved by installing VMware Server on the host, which properly
+sets up the SSL module loader. This is what I would suggest if you encounter
+this, as it solved the problem for me (I don't have VMware Server actually
+running on that host though).
+
+INSTALLATION
+
+To use these scripts, modify initial_setup.conf to match your environment. The
+GUEST_HOSTNAME, GUEST_WORKGROUP, HOST_SERVER_NAME, HOST_SERVER_PORT,
+HOST_USERNAME, and HOST_PASSWORD variables are optional, and are commented out
+in this release.
+
+Running initial_setup.sh will:
+*  Get the IP address of the Windows guest VM.
+*  Take a snapshot of the pristine Windows guest.
+*  Copy the windows scripts from the windows-scripts directory on the unix host
+        to the directory on the Windows guest specified by the
+        GUEST_SCRIPT_PATH option. This path will be created on the guest if
+        it does not already exist.
+*  Execute win_setup.wsf on the Windows guest in order to create the
+        administrator account specified by GUEST_USERNAME and GUEST_PASSWORD,
+        enable and start the telnet service, and set the GUEST_HOSTNAME and
+        GUEST_WORKGROUP if configured.
+*  If these operations are successful so far, another snapshot is taken at this
+	point. This is the snapshot which is restored if the tests encounter
+	problems they are unable to recover from.
+
+These operations leave the Windows guest in a state such that it can be
+remotely administered with telnet. Specifically, this will allow us to use
+'make wintest' in Samba 4 to perform smbtorture tests against a Windows host,
+and perform tests from a Windows client to a Samba server.
