I have a few questions:
1: Can the Guest OS be auto started to a specific VM? If so, exactly HOW is this done? I've seen references to scripting, but the threads were several years old. Have things changed since then?
2: Can the guest OS have the same machine name and IP as the original machine, but the host OS have different names and IP's? The data server MUST see the location of the data as a shared drive in a specific path. This cannot be changed.
3: What version of VMWare will be required to perform the functions I need done?
I'm going to be onsite next week and will image the running machines, but I need to know WHICH image to capture and what the software will be so I can give them a quote.
Thanks in advance.

1. For you first question see the link..
http://www.petri.co.il/automatically-power-up-vmware-server-guest-os.htm
2. Host and guest never same name and same IP address. Should be different name and different IP address.
3. You cna use VMware 8/ VSphere 5.
