Shutdown Grouping of VM's

Hi. We have a large grouping of VM's that are not always required to be running and would like to find a way to shutdown these particular VM's on a sunday night. Now anyone know how to find a group of VM's (either via label, project, category etc) and pass a shutdown command. Ideally I would like to do this via PowerShell but I will take anything.

Failing to execute Set-NTNXVMPowerState from PoSH Script - access denied

I've written a PoSH script which does the following. Authenticates to Prism Central V3 API Calls /category/query API to get a list of VM uuid's that are members of the PROD category. Write this list of uuid's to a string Connect to the NTNX cluster using Nutanix PowerShell cmdlets. Iterate through the above string and execute Set-NTNXVMPowerState against the uuid's. Steps 1 - 4 work as expected. Step 5 seems to iterate through the list as it should but when I put in the Set-NTNXVMPowerState command to be executed, it throws an access denied error. Once the script gives the error, the powershell connection looks like it locks the account and you cannot execute any commands. If I comment out the foreach loop, and just execute a normal PoSH cmdlet (after the Connect-NTNXCluster) such as Get-NTNXClusterInfo, it works fine. I have tried both my account (which has Prism admin rights) and the Prism Central admin account with no luck. So 2 questions: Any ideas
