Can't create a "shutdown" Scheduled Task?

[tyron_scholem]

I have not been able to configure a Scheduled Task to shutdown my VMs on vCenter 6.0 U2. When trying to create a "Shut Down Guest OS" task, it behave just like a "Power Off" task. Even the GUI says it's going to create a "Power Off" task. VMware Tools is up-to-date on the VMs.

Is anybody else experiencing this issue (= is this a bug)? Follow below the screenshots of the issue:

Yes, I too use 6U2 and get the same problem - a power off not gentle shutdown. In 5.5 it used to work.

One for VM to fix I guess. In the meanwhile it's back to Powershell for me.. ;} .. sigh...
