Hello,
I need help with making a powershell script. The script has to offer a possibility of creating snapshots on all running Hyper-V virtual machines. It has to ask a user if he wants to create checkpoint for each of the running machines and if the answer is “yes” it stops that running machine, creates a checkpoint and then starts the machine.
Then this process should repeat for the next running machine.

    Hi,

    The Checkpoint-VM cmdlet creates a checkpoint of a virtual machine.

    Please note that the purpose of this forum is to get answers to script questions, not to ask someone to write or rewrite a script for you.

    Best Regards,
    Ian Xue
