Hi,<br />
<br />
I am planning to install Hyper-V in one IBM server with 5 VM's. I need to shutdown the server and VM's in the night and start them in the morning as we dont have sufficient power backup. How I can automate this. Shutdown all VM's and Host server at 10PM and start Host server and VM's at 8AM<br />

Auto shutdown and start of server

Hyper-V is a native hypervisor; it can create virtual machines on x86-64 systems and supersedes Windows Virtual PC as the hardware virtualization component of the client editions of Windows NT. A server computer running Hyper-V can be configured to expose individual virtual machines to one or more networks. Hyper-V Server supports remote access via Remote Desktop Connection. Administration and configuration of the host OS and the guest virtual machines is generally done over the network.

Hyper-V
