Hi

Does anybody know how to close/save state a virtual machine in Virtual PC
2007?

I can launch a virtual machine from the command prompt but not close it.

If not from the command line, WMI?

There's no way to do that with Virtual PC.

Virtual Server has a WMI interface though, so you may want to switch
to that.

Virtual Server has a COM API, Hyper-V is WMI.

Random access is the optimum of the mass storages.

It will, and is a supported scenario for testing and development. (but
not production)
