Hyper-V PowerGUI PowerPack – Now That’s Power….

  • Artikel

I loved PowerGUI ever since I found it a month ago or so… Well Kirk and the PowerGUI guys have done it again… They now have a pretty comprehensive PowerShell wrapper for Hyper-V… Pretty Cool!

As of today, PowerGUI users can download a free Hyper-V PowerPack for PowerGUI!  This PowerPack has been a huge undertaking, to put it mildly, and I’m absolutely thrilled with the end result (and so happy that I’ve finally finished the first version…whew)!  Here’s a list of some of the key features that this PowerPack provides:

  1. Bulk management of multiple VMs, Virtual Networks, Virtual Hard Drives, Snapshots, etc. within one Hyper-V servers and across multiple Hyper-V servers.
  2. Support for remote management of Hyper-V servers using alternate credentials.
  3. Integrated management of standard Windows features like Processes, Services, Event Logs, etc.
  4. Automatic credential caching (in memory, not to disk) allowing you to enter a password for a Hyper-V server you are managing only once per PowerGUI session.
  5. Discovery of Hyper-V servers through Active Directory.
  6. Over 30 rich user-defined functions that wrap the Hyper-V WMI interfaces and provide a cmdlet-like experience when scripting with Hyper-V while outputting rich, custom objects complete with properties and methods to script to your heart’s content.  Many of these functions support CSV input through Import-Csv, so there are a lot of opportunities for provisioning already available.
  7. 101 links and actions allowing you to manage just about everything you would want to manage in Hyper-V, including configuration of security via AzMan Scopes, Snapshot refresh, and many, many more.
