Notes

  • Requires a VMM virtual machine configuration object, which can be obtained by using the Get-SCVMConfiguration cmdlet.

Examples

1: Update an existing virtual machine configuration.

The first command gets the service configuration object named Service01 from the VMM library and stores the object in the $ServiceConfig variable.

The second command gets the virtual machine configuration object for the service configuration stored in $ServiceConfig and stores the virtual machine configuration object in $VMConfig.

The last command sets the ValidateOnly property to True for the first configuration object stored in $VMConfig.

PS C:\> $ServiceConfig = Get-SCServiceConfiguration -Name "Service01"
PS C:\> $VMConfig = Get-SCVMConfiguration -ServiceConfiguration $ServiceConfig
PS C:\> Update-SCVMConfiguration -VMConfiguration $VMConfig[0] -ValidateOnly $True
