Complete Exercises 1-8
Configure | verify your lab environment:
o Physical machines ADMIN-01 and CORE-01 with Hyper-V installed
What You Will Learn
After completing this exercise, you will be able to explore and manipulate a Hyper-V
server and virtual machines using Windows PowerShell.
After completing the exercises you will be able to:
Enumerate available classes in the Hyper-V WMI namespace
Start, Create a virtual machine, take a memory dump of a virtual machine and
change settings in virtual machine using PowerShell and WMI.
Scenario
Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V is includes a full set of management and automation
interfaces which are based on Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI). This allows
administrators to create custom management tools and scripts using any platform that
supports WMI, such as Windows Script Host, PowerShell, or .NET.
Important:
The following scripts should be run using the 32-bit version of PowerShell. Do not close
PowerShell in between executing the commands in this lab or the environment will have
to be reconfigured. This can be accomplished by repeating the steps in 4a, Prepare
PowerShell to run scripts.

Tip:
Some of the following commands contain commands that must be enclosed in quotes, and
virtual machine names that must be enclosed in single quotes. Please take note of this to make
sure you enter the command correctly.

Tasks
1. Display available Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V WMI Objects.
