Connect to Hyper-V guest from CLI
One thing that has annoyed me for a long time, si the fact that there was no obvious / easy way to connect to the console session of a VM, so you have to open the Hyper-V manager, click on your VM and click on ‘connect’. That’s just too much clicking…
function enter-vmsession{ [cmdletbinding()] param($vmhost=$env:computername,$vmname) vmconnect.exe $vmhost $vmname }
I found that Hyper-V manager is using the ‘vmconnect.exe’ to connect to the console session, and I wrote this little function that will kind of act like ‘enter-pssession’ just instead of connection to a session it actually launches the vm console. Saved me alot of time. :o)
