SIMATIC WinCC: Windows control center Backup system Autostart

Hi,
I have redundant pair of WinCC v7.3 Update 1 Servers and multiple WinCC Clients which I'd like to start automatically with Windows. The problem is that according to the WinCC Redundancy Configuration manual a specific order must be followed to activate redundancy. It says (from the manual):
Activate initially the configured Master server.
Next start up the connected clients.
When the clients are active, activate the second server and its connected clients.
Note
Please note during startup of redundant servers that the first server must be started completely prior to activating the redundant partner. During initial startup of servers, no clients must be active. Once you have completely deactivated a redundant server pair, you must adhere to a specific sequence during reactivation. Activate the server first which was the last server to be deactivated. Once this server has been completed started, you can activate the redundant partner.
Short from writing a script to start WinCC runtime on each computer it a specific order as given in the manual is there a better way to have our SCADA start automatically in redundant mode?? Without user input.
When starting the computers manually in the correct order everything works fine, so I can safely say my redundancy configuration settings is applied correctly. 
Has anyone else ran into this problem? How have you solved it?
