Question was raised about auto starting a vm at boot up

In hyper-v manager it looks like this:

Options are Do nothing? Automatically start it if was running when the server went down or always start the VM and wait X number of seconds before you do so. This last option is if you have a large number of VM's it gives a pause instead of loading them all at once.

In VT Utilities it looks like this:

Options are None = Nothing, Auto start if it was previously running, and always start and hidden under the choices is the startup delay option. So it is the same, just worded different and located in a different tab.

As far as I have been able to tell all the same features or tick boxes are in VT utilities as are in Hyper-v manager they are just worded different or located in a different tab.

NOTE: Unlike VMware where you can use a GUI to set the start up order of your VM's in Hyper-v  you can use the start up delay for each VM in the same manner:

• First VM to start: set Startup delay to 0 seconds in the settings (AKA Domain Controller1)
• Second VM to start: set Startup delay to 60 seconds in the settings (AKA Domain Controller2)
• Third VM to start: set Startup delay to 120 seconds in the settings (DNS, etc)
• Etc.
