### How to auto-start a VMware Server guest on host's startup? ###
       
       
       It is possible to let a VMware Server guest machine start automatically upon host's boot, simply by adding two options to the vmx configuration file:
       
         autostart="poweron"
         autostart.delay="n"
       
       (where n is the amount of seconds to wait before booting the guest)
       
       It is also possible to configure this from within the VMware's web GUI. This setting is not on the particular guest system's screen, but on the host's ("main") screen: select host in the "Inventory" panel (root node of the tree), to the right "Commands" panel should appear with "Edit Virtual Machine Startup/Shutdown Settings" link on it.
