Tommek Thanks for the reference. Looks like this is automation for auto on and auto off. We have already set this in our environment. However, we are looking to take it one step further.
We are looking for a way to have the machine boot on access, and shut down after a certain amount of time after non use. Example: All machines auto off at 5pm, end of work day. A user needs to access the machine after hours. Can a cmd be sent to the machine to boot up when a user is trying to access while turned off. And can the machine shut down after lack of use, say if the machine were to go to sleep, like a normal computer. But after lack of use, the WVD just shuts off.
