Detailed Description
The Get-SCVirtualDVDDrive cmdlet gets one or more System Center Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) virtual DVD drive objects from a virtual machine object, a virtual machine template object, or a hardware profile object.

Parameters
-All
Retrieves a full list of all subordinate objects independent of the parent object. For example, the command Get-SCVirtualDiskDrive -All retrieves all virtual disk drive objects regardless of the virtual machine object or template object that each virtual disk drive object is associated with.

<CommonParameters>
This cmdlet supports the common parameters: -Verbose, -Debug, -ErrorAction, -ErrorVariable, -OutBuffer, and -OutVariable. For more information, see about_CommonParameters.
Inputs
The input type is the type of the objects that you can pipe to the cmdlet.
Outputs
The output type is the type of the objects that the cmdlet emits.
- VirtualDVDDrive
Notes
- Requires a VMM virtual machine object, virtual machine template object, or hardware profile object. You can retrieve these objects by using the Get-SCVirtualMachine, Get-SCVMTemplate, or Get-SCHardwareProfile cmdlets, respectively.
Examples
1: Get virtual DVD drives from a virtual machine.
The first command gets the virtual machine object named VM01 and stores the object in the $VM variable.
The second command gets all DVD drive objects on VM01 and displays information about these virtual DVD drives to the user.
PS C:\> $VM = Get-SCVirtualMachine -Name "VM01"
PS C:\> Get-SCVirtualDVDDrive -VM $VM
2: Get virtual DVD drives from a template.
The first command gets all virtual machine template objects stored in the VMM library, selects the template object named VMTemplate01, and then stores the object in the $Template variable.
The second command gets all virtual DVD drive objects on VMTemplate01 and displays information about these virtual DVD drives to the user.
PS C:\> $VMTemplate = Get-SCVMTemplate | where { $_.Name -eq "VMTemplate01" }
PS C:\> Get-SCVirtualDVDDrive -Template $VMTemplate
3: Get virtual DVD drives from a hardware profile.
The first command gets all hardware profile objects in the VMM library, selects the profile object named NewHWProfile01, and then stores the object in the $HWProfile variable.
The second command gets all virtual DVD drive objects on NewHHWProfile01 and displays information about these virtual DVD drives to the user.
PS C:\> $HWProfile = Get-SCHardwareProfile | where { $_.Name -eq "NewHWProfile01" }
PS C:\> Get-SCVirtualDVDDrive -HardwareProfile $HWProfile
