I have a Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V box that is scheduled to restart every night. &nbsp;When the server comes back up, all VMs automatically start except an RSA Authentication MGR Linux VM. &nbsp;I have checked the Hyper-V settings and it is set to restart automatically like the others, but does not. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
To get it started, I must do a GPUPDATE /FORCE, and then start the VM and poof, it works. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
With that being said, I would like to run a powershell script that runs at COMPUTER startup that will run a GPUPFDATE /FORCE, pause for like 120 seconds, and then issue a start command to that particular VM.<br />
<br />
Can somebody help?

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.
