I have VM View setup with Zero clients using PCoIP. Sometimes the users shutdown their vm by mistake. The only way to boot it back up is to wait for me to do it through the the VSphere. Are there any options where if the user connects to the view server using their zero client that their vm will automatically start up? Anyone else run into this problem?
thanks.

Are you against having your VDI powered on 24/7? In the pool settings, there is a setting under Remote Settings called Remote Desktop Power Policy. You can set that to "Ensure desktops are always powered on" and it will automagically power back on a VDI if it shuts down. The only way to leave it down, is to set Maintenance Mode.
What are you power settings in View for the pool? You may want to check if there is an update for your zero client. Using PCoIP, the VM should initiate a power on state when user tries to connect. Are these floating linked clones or dedicated pools?
Disable shutdown option for users using Group policy. Turn on pool setting: Ensure desktops are always on.
