The Suspend-SCService cmdlet pauses a Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) service and all virtual machines within the service.
To resume the service, use the Resume-SCService cmdlet.
The first command gets the service object named Service01 and stores the object in the $Service variable.
The second command suspends the service in $Service, which pauses all of the virtual machines in the service.
