I am not Microsoft guy but recently I have been asked by my colleague to assist him in automating Hyper-V VM provisioning process. There are various resources available on the internet and I was able to bring those scripts together under one hood and was able to automate HyperV role enablement, VM creation process, choose hardware configuration, automate Windows 2k12 installation with static IP, setup AD domain.. all through PowerShell.
Here are the scripts:
Script-1 : vmcreation.ps1
#This script will automatically create 2 Hyper-V Virtual machines.
#Ensure that you have PS version 3.0 installed and Win2k12+ running as a pre-requisite.
#Please change the settings according to your need.
# Variables
$VM1 = “WinVM1” # Name of VM1
$VM2 = “WinVM2” # Name of VM2
$VM1RAM = 6144MB # RAM assigned to VM1
$VM2RAM = 6144MB # RAM assigned to VM2
$VM1VHD = 80GB # Size of Hard-Drive for VM1
$VM2VHD = 40GB # Size of Hard-Drive for VM2
$VMLOC = “C:\vhd” # Location of the VM and VHDX files
$NetworkSwitch1 = “VirtualSwitch1”
$NEtworkSwitch2 = “Corp” # Name of the Corporate Network Switch
$WIN2k12ISO = “C:\ISO\KC7THA00_98B7E2C4_12R2_MUI_STD.iso” # Windows Server 2012 R2 ISO
# Create VM Folder and Network Switch
MD $VMLOC -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
$TestSwitch = Get-VMSwitch -Name $NetworkSwitch1 -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue; if ($TestSwitch.Count -EQ 0){New-VMSwitch -Name $NetworkSwitch1 -SwitchType Private}
# Create Virtual Machines
New-VM -Name $VM1 -Path $VMLOC -NewVHDPath $VMLOC\$VM1.vhdx -MemoryStartupBytes $VM1RAM -NewVHDSizeBytes $VM1VHD -SwitchName $NetworkSwitch1 -Generation 2
