Outputs

None

By default, this cmdlet doesn't return any output.

Microsoft.HyperV.PowerShell.VMNetworkAdapter

When you use the PassThru parameter, this cmdlet returns a Microsoft.HyperV.PowerShell.VMNetworkAdapter object.

Microsoft.HyperV.PowerShell.VMInternalNetworkAdapter

When you use the PassThru and -ManagementOS parameters, this cmdlet returns a Microsoft.HyperV.PowerShell.VMInternalNetworkAdapter.
