Preface

Microsoft Hyper-V PowerShell Automation comes with a set of real-world scenarios and detailed scripts that will help you get started with PowerShell for Hyper-V and learn what administrative tasks you can do with PowerShell.

This book starts with the essential topics relating to PowerShell and then introduces the new features in Hyper-V version 3.0. This book explores the cmdlets in Hyper-V version 3.0 that can be used to manage and automate all configuration activities for managing the Hyper-V environment. The cmdlets are executed across the network using Windows Remote Management.

This book goes in depth and looks at the new features that are made available with Hyper-V version 3.0, and breaks down the mystery and confusion that surrounds which feature to use when. It also teaches you the PowerShell way to automate the usage of these features.
