I'm looking into automation of VM creation and builds for work here on 
ESX and VI3. I just took a look at my Server install as well....

Check out vmware-cmd if you need to automate things that you would do in 
the GUI (like powering on/off etc). (Command reference: 
http://www.vmware.com/support/esx2/doc/vmware-cmd.html). Also checkout 
http://www.easyvmx.com/ for a handy web interface for creating VM config 
files.
