gregh-cctvsuppliers Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 This is great. Thanks for the info.Wondering if anyone knows how to pass on to the installer such that the "allow virtual machines to auto start with the system" is enabled and how to append a ready made virtual server (C:\Virtual Machines\Virtual Machine) to a newly installed vmware installation with the "auto start in any order" option enabled.Advance ThanksGreg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
