What it does

Hyper-V-Automation is a collection of PowerShell scripts that helps manage and automate Hyper-V environments, including tasks like VM creation, snapshot management, and network configuration.

When to use it
  • •When you need to automate repetitive tasks in your Hyper-V environment
  • •When you want to simplify the management of multiple virtual machines
  • •When you need to ensure consistency in your Hyper-V setup across different machines or environments
Ready-to-paste prompt
Create a new virtual machine named 'MyNewVM' with a VHD path of 'C:\\VHDs\\MyNewVM.vhdx' and connect it to a switch named 'MySwitch': `New-VM -Name 'MyNewVM' -VHDPath 'C:\\VHDs\\MyNewVM.vhdx' -SwitchName 'MySwitch'`
Heads up: You need to have PowerShell 3 or later installed on your system, and you must run the PowerShell console as an administrator to use these scripts, as they require elevated privileges to interact with Hyper-V
