VMs auto-restarting on host reboot

Hi Group,

I have 5 VMs on a server and need them to auto-restart when the server's
rebooted.

With the the VMs turned off, I checked the credentials, and choosed
"restart", also enalbed scripting in server properties.

Question below.....

Where does one find a script to inject into the server properties? Could
some kind person please reply with a sample command/script/code?

Is this the right script to add to the command in server properties? Lets
say I saved this to c:\serverstart.vbs, then added this path to the script
field??

On Error Resume Next
Set objVS = CreateObject("VirtualServer.Application")
Set objVM = objVS.FindVirtualMachine("Windows 2000 Server")

objVM.Startup()

Thanks,
Mike Bonvie

If you've enabled them to restart when the host does then you
don't need to add scripting to accomplish the same thing.

You need to make sure that you've selected the "Always
automatically turn on Virtual Machine" option. If you've got
that turned on and it still isn't starting then you're going to
need to check the event viewer for possible errors.

Hi padare,

Here's where it gets a bit challenging.

with the VMs powered off, I check auto-restart the VM on host boot - using
the local admin account...since the DC for the domain is a VM. I've
staggered the startup of the other hosts (still using the local admin
account) so the DC can completely start..but when I reboot the physical box,
the VMs dont start...thoughts?
