Hi Preeda,

I have a script for this:

All that you will need to do is run the script as a scheduled task.

Thank you bulletprooffo…

That is a good script it is very helpful.

However I have additional question.

Can I specific some VMs or set ordering because I need to shutdown vCenter server and DC last.
