Examples

1: Get all virtual networks in the VMM database.

The first command gets all virtual network objects on all hosts managed by VMM and stores the virtual network objects in $VirtualNetworks.

The second command displays a subset of information about each virtual network object in $VirtualNetworks: the name of each virtual network, the physical host on which each virtual network is configured, and the physical network adapters configured on the host for each virtual network.

PS C:\> $VirtualNetworks = Get-SCVirtualNetwork
PS C:\> $VirtualNetworks | Format-List Name,VMHost,VMHostNetworkadapters

2: Get all virtual networks on a specific host.

The first command gets the host object named VMHost01 and stores the object in the $VMHost variable.

The second command all virtual network objects on VMHost01 and displays information about each virtual network.

PS C:\> $VMHost = Get-SCVMHost -ComputerName "VMHost01.Contoso.com"
PS C:\> Get-SCVirtualNetwork -VMHost $VMHost

3: Get a virtual network by name from a specific host.

The first command gets the host object named VMHost02 and stores the object in the $VMHost variable.

The second command gets the virtual network object named InternalVNet01 from VMHost02 and stores the object in the $VN variable.

The last command displays information about the virtual network stored in $VN to the user.

PS C:\> $VMHost = Get-SCVMHost -ComputerName "VMHost02.Contoso.com"
PS C:\> $VN = Get-SCVirtualNetwork -VMHost $VMHost -Name "InternalVNet01"
PS C:\> $VN
