It's in the setup for the pool, on the Desktop Pool tab. You can change the setting to power off, suspend, Take no action and Ensure Powered on. If you need to have a number of machines at the ready, you will want to go to the Provisioning tab and change the number of spare powered on vm's.

This is a result of the power policy configuration on the pool. If you are trying to shut a VM down to check/change a setting then you need to place the VM in maintenance mode. That will prevent it from being powered back on. Once you are done just exit maintenance mode on the VM and it will be powered on by the connection server.
