| Guest | Hyper-V question Lets say I install server 2008 and Hyper-V on a new server. I create a few VM's in the D:\VMS folder and name them VM1 and VM2. Is there a way to use a command from the comamnd line to start and stop those vms? Something like shutvm d:\vms\vm1 or startvm d:\vms\vm2 ? I am just using shutvm or startvm as examples. Thanks, James |

| Guest | Re: Hyper-V question Right now, you'd need to write a WMI script. In vbscript or PowerShell. In the version that is part of Server 2008 R2, we should have native PowerShell cmdlets for this. -- Charlie. http://msmvps.com/blogs/xperts64 http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/charlie.russel "James" <acidflea@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:%23dcItY%23iJHA.504@xxxxxx Quote: > Lets say I install server 2008 and Hyper-V on a new server.

| Guest | Re: Hyper-V question Google will help immensely, but a good place to start is always the TechNet Script Center (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scr.../hubs/msh.mspx) They're basic scripts, but usually that's all you need. Also, the Virtual PC Guy's blog is bound to have stuff. http://blogs.msdn.com/virtual_pc_guy/ -- Charlie. http://msmvps.com/blogs/xperts64 http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/charlie.russel "James" <acidflea@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:%2310xIz%23iJHA.4276@xxxxxx Quote: > Any good links that might help me out? > > > "Charlie Russel - MVP" <charlie@xxxxxx> wrote in message > news:OODX5r%23iJHA.1928@xxxxxx Quote: >> Right now, you'd need to write a WMI script.

| Guest | Re: Hyper-V question One more question. We are using vmware server and we have to stop each vm to be able to create a backup image of the vm. Is there the ability to backup a vm image while it is running when when you are using Hyper-V? I know you can install a backup client and do a backup but we are talking about backing up the whole vm image.
