Scripting

Virtual Machine Manager 2007 includes a scripting shell called the Virtual Machine Manager command shell. The Virtual Machine Manager command shell is built on Windows PowerShell, an administrator-focused interactive command-line shell and scripting language. You can use Virtual Machine Manager cmdlets, and scripts created by using these cmdlets, as an alternative to (or in addition to) using the Administrator Console for centralized management of your physical and virtual system infrastructure.
