Reference

Module:: VirtualMachineManager

Resets a virtual machine by powering off the virtual machine and then starting it.

Syntax

Reset-SCVirtualMachine
     [-VM] <VM>
     [-RunAsynchronously]
     [-PROTipID <Guid>]
     [-JobVariable <String>]
     [-OnBehalfOfUser <String>]
     [-OnBehalfOfUserRole <UserRole>]
     [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Reset-SCVirtualMachine cmdlet resets a virtual machine by powering off the virtual machine and then starting it. This is the equivalent of using the Stop-SCVirtualMachine and Start-SCVirtualMachine cmdlets. To use this cmdlet, the virtual machine must be in a running state.

Examples

Example 1: Reset a virtual machine

PS C:\> $VM = Get-SCVirtualMachine -Name "VM01"
PS C:\> Reset-SCVirtualMachine -VM $VM

The first command gets the virtual machine object named VM01, and then stores that object in the $VM variable.

The second command resets the virtual machine stored in $VM.
