Thank you

Just regarding the Startup/Shutdown settings...

I will set VM to automatic startup. In the 'Shutdown Action' option - what is the difference between 'Guest Shutdown' and 'Power off'. I assume 'guest shutdown' will cleanly shutdown the VM from within windows, and Power off will force a shutdown?

What happens if the VM (windows 2k3) hangs or fails to shutdown, will the host force it down? Is the 'shutdown delay' the wait time for the VM shut down?

Apologies for all the questions- I am just trying to get a better understanding of all the options (difficult without being able to 'play' with settings in a production environment!)

thanks again.
