Hi, i am having the exact samt problem as this user:
Virtual Machine Powered off by "User"
But i am running ESXi Free 6.00 2494585 and the guest is a windows 8.
It just shuts down about once every 3-6 months. The host is still up (uptime says 160 days now).
events says this:
Virtual machine on localhost.localdomain is
powered off

but noone powered it off. Who is this "User" ?
Also there is nothing in the logs until it powers on again. The last lins are these:
2017-01-12T03:58:51.206Z| vcpu-1| I120: CDROM: Emulate GET CONFIGURATION RT 0 starting feature 0
2017-01-25T01:55:18.984Z| vcpu-1| I120: CDROM: Emulate GET CONFIGURATION RT 0 starting feature 0
2017-01-26T04:51:13.425Z| vcpu-2| I120: CDROM: Emulate GET CONFIGURATION RT 0 starting feature 0
and the new log begins when the machine is started:
2017-02-02T00:45:59.308Z| vmx| I120: Log for VMware ESX pid=8601607 version=6.0.0 build=build-2494585 option=Release

2017-02-02T00:45:59.305Z| vmx| I120: VTHREAD initialize main thread 0 "vmx" pid 8601607
What should i do? This also existed on the vanilla version on 6.o so the update didnt help.
this is the machine:
Supermicro X10SLL-F Xeon E3-1231 V3, 8GB memory, 500GB sata for esxi and the vm is on a datastore on another 500GB sata.
