Hey all, I had a power outage last Saturday that was more enlightening than annoying (or maybe annoyingly enlightening), thus my question--is there a way, with ESXi 4.0, to have VMs boot automatically when the host boots up?

Thanks,

yes. In the vic goto configuration > software > virtual machine startup/shutdown.

It's easy to work out from there.

Biglebowskis Razor - with all things being equal if you still can't find the answer have a shave and go down the pub.
