Hyper-V

Hyper-V examples for PowerShell Universal.

Virtual Machine Creator

This example uses PowerShell Universal Dashboard.

This example can be used to create virtual machines on a Hyper-V host. This dashboard assumes it's being run on the host in question. You could adjust the dashboard script to run on a remote host.
