Hello,

I have a VM and I want to power on the VM at a specific time. How can I do that?

Thank you very much in advance

You can use scheduled task to set a run once Power on. Just go to the VMware in vCenter > configuration > scheduled tasks and create a new scheduled task.

In case you do not have vCenter, you can use powercli.

I forgot if on ESXi directly scheduler can be also used.
