I have server with several virtual servers in it. My virtual servers are installed in VMWare Workstation 10. I want to add a startup script that automatically starts-up the virtual machines as well. Please see the script below. The script works properly when I have logged on to server Host machine. However during windows-server (windows server 2008) startup (not logged on)it gives error of "Error: Unknown error". Please do not pay attention to the DHCP server restart section, it is specific to my server.
Please help.
Thank you very much.
