Powering off and on via script

[NeenaJim]

Hello,

I have VMs list in a text file which is in C:\VM\VMs.txt  (These VMs are in 3 different vCenters)

Can you please help me to find a script that I can perform:

-- Connect those 3 vCenter

-- Shutdown the guest OS (gracefully)(All VMs in that txt file)

-- Power ON VMs (All VMs in that txt file)

-- Power off (All VMs in that txt file. Few VMs doesnt have VMware tools installed)

-- Disconnect the vCenters

What do you already have, and where do you encounter issues?

Hello @LucD ,

Thank you for helping me.. 

At present I dont have any script/commands. But I am looking a script that I can achieve something like what I have mentioned above.

Really appreciate if you can script it
