Hi, I have recenlty upgraded my ESXi 3.5 system to ESXi 4.0u1 and have installed the vSphere Client.
I have navigated to the Host:Configuration:Virtual Machine Startup/Shutdown:Properties and have the window open.
I have the checkbox immediately under System Settings Checked (Allow virtual machines to start and stop automatically with the system)
Under Startup Order I have three Sections in bold: "Automatic Startup", "Any Order", and "Manual Startup". All of my guests are in "Manual Startup".
I can move the guests up and down in the "Manual Starup" list, but I am unable to move them from there to "Automatic Startup". I am unable to click the edit button because it is grey.
I am the administrator.
What bone-head thing am I doing wrong?

Geeze,
No sooner than I post the message and try the "Move Up" again, than this time it actually moves up.
OK. The only thing I had done was restarted the vSphere client after I checked the "Allow virtual machines to start and stop automatically with the system".
So, I guess that's it. Just Murphy goofing with me and making me look the fool....

Cleaning up things.
This was still "open" because there were no responses. Just me looking the fool.
How do I close or get rid of this one?
Thanks,
