Download Free PowerShell Commands to Manage Hyper-V R2

You can make management of your Hyper-v much simpler with the use of a pre-existing library of Windows PowerShell functions, which you can use directly from the shell. Fortunately, some employees of Microsoft have worked together to develop a sample Windows PowerShell Hyper-V Management Library. This library (PowerShell Management Library for Hyper-V R2) can be downloaded from Microsoft’s open source project site.

There are currently 80 functions included in the library which, allows you to manage a variety of components, including:

• Virtual machine configuration and state
• Virtual hard disks
• Virtual floppy disks
• Virtual CD/DVD images
• Virtual network adapters
• Virtual network switches
• Snapshots

In addition, the library has a series of helper functions that help optimize code reuse and maintain a consistent interaction with the functions.
