Description

The Rename-VMSnapshot cmdlet renames a virtual machine checkpoint.

Note: In Windows Server 2012 R2, virtual machine snapshots were renamed to virtual machine checkpoints. For clarity, this document will refer to virtual machine snapshots as checkpoints.

Examples

Example 1

PS C:\> Rename-VMSnapshot -VMName TestVM -Name "Configuration 2" -NewName "Configuration 2: applied all updates"

Renames checkpoint Configuration 2 of virtual machine TestVM to Configuration 2: applied all updates.
