Haha, thanks Ed

You raise a good question, but as I don’t have VMotion enabled, I’m not sure…

U are a gawd for putting this up..

BUT, my next question is how does this work with vmotion as the vitual machines seem to be tied to a host when u do the settings.

Very many thanks for that. VMware Server has the same window. The help in VMware Server *does* actually tell you to do the Move Up thing, but it’s lost in the noise. The bad news is that it also gives you this false explanation for why you aren’t getting anywhere:

‘Note To allow virtual machines to be started and shut down on a Windows host system, you must also select Allow virtual machines to start and stop automatically with the system during the installation of VMware Server.’ That’s untrue. You can do it at any time.

Very good interface in general, though.

Haha! Thank you for the pics. I spent half an hour looking for the damn “properties” button. Guess I am getting blind in my old age. The “on the far upper right of the window” really came in handy! Thank you!

Thanks for taking the time.

I never would have figured this out (I’m not even sure where our “FM” is).

Thanks for taking the time to make this page.
This was a very non intuitive way of making a gui.

Thank you… this would have cost me a lot of hair pulling!
What a strange GUI.

You really have to wonder who vets this UI design! Come on VMware.

Thanks, I wasn’t going to work that one out through intuition.

This helped a lot as I couldn’t find the relatively hidden properties button. Thanks again.
