To configure VMware Server automatic power up motions for Virtual Guest OS systems, go to your VMware Server Console. Select the tab of the virtual machine that you want to configure the automatic power up options for. Click on Edit Virtual Machine Settings, either on the Summary View for that Virtual Machine (VM) or by going to the VM Menu, then Settings.
Once inside the VM Settings, click on the Options tab, then select Startup/Shutdown. From there, you will need to change the account that the VM will start under. I recommend selecting Local System Account. Finally, select the Startup & Shutdown options for this VM when the Virtual Host boots. Most likely, you want to choose to Power on virtual machine on host startup and Power Off Virtual machine on host shutdown. When you are done, click OK to save your changes. You can choose to do this to however many production virtual systems you want to boot when this host system starts.
