ESXi 5.1 2000251 with vcenter 5.1 1123961
I've built some windows 7 SP1 machines for virtual desktop, and these particular machines are having a hard time shutting down, BUT only when you choose reboot. If you choose to power off, they shut down fine. When you choose to reboot, windows goes to shut down, and displays "Shutting Down" with the circle spinning. It'll do that until it's done, but instead of the VM going to bios post, it hangs at the windows Shutting Down with a stuck spinning circle. When you choose shut down, windows shuts down and powers off properly.
Checking the event log, it appears windows is shutting all the way down, as there are no errors in the log to show a dirty shutdown. So, I think that windows is shutting down all the way just fine, but the problem is when it tries to hand off control back to the bios so it can post, it can't do it. Does anyone have any ideas or help?
Let me know what other info or logs I can provide to help.
Thanks!
