You can use the following script to create multiple virtual machines when you do not have an existing template. This script does the following tasks:

  • Creates a hardware profile.

  • Creates a guest operating system profile.

  • Creates a template by using the profiles and a virtual hard disk that was prepared by the Sysprep tool.

  • Creates the specified number of virtual machines from the template, and deploys the virtual machines on the most suitable host, as determined by the host ratings.

  • Displays progress messages as the virtual machines are being created, and displays a final status message.

To create virtual machines using a template that you already created, see CreateNewVMsFromTemplate.ps1.

# Filename:    CreateNewVMs.ps1
# Description: Creates a System Center Virtual Machine Manager (VMM)-based 
#              hardware profile and operating system profile. Then, the 
#              script creates a template by using the profiles with a   
#              virtual hard disk that was prepared by the Sysprep tool. 
#              The template is used to create the specified number of 
#              virtual machines which are then deployed on the most  
#              suitable host. The script displays progress messages 
#              for each task, and it displays a final status message.
