Weird. Do you have Horizon View? If so are you sure its not that doing it?

I doubt DRS actually powered the VM on. It would have been involved in the VM placement on a host after the VM was powered on.

Any clues in the Tasks or Events for the VM, the host or cluster? How about the VM's own logs?

Is there an "Initialize powering on" task in Datacenter > Monitor > Taskas and Events > Tasks?

What does it have as the "Initiator"?
