Re: virtual machines

Without meaning to be flippant, the quickest/easiest thing you can do is 
to perform a fresh install without any patches.

If you have licences (where needed) for the guest operating systems, 
just create a base image for each one that doesn't include any service 
packs / patches / kernel or app updates etc and use that as your base 
snapshot.  You can then install applications, add/remove network 
services etc.   When you've broken it, just turn it off and redo from start.
