    • Using Powershell for Hyper-V VMs Automatic Deployment in Windows Server 2016

      alt text

      With PowerShell, automatic deployment of Hyper-V VMs in Windows Server 2016 becomes a piece of cake
      No doubts, commercial software for automatic VM deployment is great, but it may be too expensive comparing to the goals that need to be achieved. That’s where PowerShell kicks in. With PowerShell commands, the creation and configuration of Hyper-V virtual machines in Windows Server 2016 become a fairly simple thing. But, what is more important, you can create a script which deploys VMs of the same configuration automatically.

      Read the full article by Boris Yurchenko, a Support Engineer at StarWind, to learn how to automate your VMs deployment with PowerShell in Windows Server 2016.
