Description

The Stop-VM cmdlet shuts down, turns off, or saves a virtual machine.

Examples

Example 1

PS C:\> Stop-VM -Name TestVM

Shuts down virtual machine TestVM through the guest operating system.

Example 2

PS C:\> Stop-VM -Name VM1 -Force

Shuts down virtual machine TestVM through the guest operating system, regardless of any unsaved application data. Hyper-V gives the guest five minutes to save data, then forces a shutdown. This shutdown can result in loss of unsaved data.

Example 3

PS C:\> Stop-VM -Name TestVM -TurnOff

Turns off virtual machine TestVM. This operation is equivalent to disconnecting the power from the virtual machine, and can result in loss of unsaved data.

Parameters

-AsJob

Runs the cmdlet as a background job.

Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-ComputerName

Specifies one or more Hyper-V hosts on which a virtual machine is to be shut down. NetBIOS names, IP addresses, and fully qualified domain names are allowable. The default is the local computer. Use localhost or a dot (.) to specify the local computer explicitly.

Type:	String[]
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
