We're running a Windows Server 2012 and VMware Workstation 9.0.2 with 2 shared and 1 unshared VMs.
When I run "vmrun list" I get "Total running VMs: 1" which points to the unshared VM.
I take it vmrun does not see/recognize the shared VMs.
I'm trying to use "vmrun -T ws stop" to shutdown one of the shared VMs and I keep getting this error:
Error: The virtual machine is not powered on:
Is there a way for me to shutdown the shared VM using vmrun? If not, how else can I gracefully shutdown the VM?
I'm been looking into this for a few days and have seen lots of different articles but nothing answers my question, thanks.

Great, that seems to be working but now I have to figure out what the "host user" and "host password" need.
Could you possibly point me to the right direction?
Host user requires a URL in this format: https://<hostname>:<port>/sdk
But I'm not having much luck with it. Is the port number either 443 or 8333, or do I also need to perform additional tasks and open these ports?
I'm not sure I'm giving it the correct information, so I appreciate your help.
Thanks
