Shutting the lab down
Since the lab takes up so much of the resources on a PC you will probably want to shut it down when you’re
not actively working on it. TheShutdown Lab shortcut on the VC desktop runs a PowerShell script which will
quickly shutdown everything except the NAS and Router VMs, these VMs can be shutdown using VMware
Workstation power control.
