How to start virtual machine automatically

April 6, 2010 by Buttar

I have been working on virtual machine since 2006 and trying to find more and more appropriate solution, excellent performance and hardware utilization. I found VMware an excellent tool to solve your day to day home, business and enterprise virtualization problems. I used most of the versions of VMware for almost all kinds of guest operating system like Microsoft Windows, Linux, UNIX and also tried to install MAC (I was not able to install MAC, perhaps I was missing something). If you install your machine using VMware workstation, you probably won’t be able to boot your machine at your original windows startup, because you have to start your virtual machine as a service not as an application like you do in VMware workstation or VMware player. VMware server provide this functionality with ease because it starts the virtual machine as a service.

You can download VMware Server 2 for free from under given URL;
