if this was powershell you could use
(gwmi win32_service -filter ‘name=”virtual server”‘).stop
wait-process “virtual server”
shutdown -r

Anything more than that running and it just kills it - (the virtual machine - guest) while shutting down (the Virtual server on the host systems).... Don't know why this happens... but still trying to get to the bottom of it. Even increasing the time-out values, etc. (as MS Suggests in the KB) does not work at all. HI,
