How to define VMware Tools System-Standard for Power-Off, Power-On, ...

Hi,

I am looking for a way to change the default settings for the Power Controls of all VMs.

The Power-Off settings of a given VM offers e.g. three options:

- Power Off (which performs a hard shutdown)

- Shut Down Guest (which performs a graceful shutdown

- System Default

The option "System Default" is the one I would like to define globally, so that all my VMs with that setting can be controlled with one single change rather than doing them one by one or scripted.

My search so far brought only up solutions that involved scripting to change the config files of VMs. Even if this is not too much effort, I am hooked by the name of the third option "System Default".

Hence my question is: Where can I define the System Default?

Sincerly,

Jörg
