Virtual Machine Manager: Changes from 2008 R2 to 2012 Beta 1 (LONG)

Using a script Shay Levy wrote HERE, I have the following list of cmdlet changes that have occurred between Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 R2 and the very recently released 2012 Beta 1 (see HERE).

So below is a listing of the parameter changes to each of the cmdlets.  There are several changes in the new Beta...  There are a few cmdlets that have parameters that have changed, but along with the new features announced in 2012 Beta 1, there’s a load of new cmdlets covering the features planned for VMM 2012 (due apparently by the end of the 2011 calendar year).

Cmdlets with an “!” have changed, and have a “+” or “-“, depending on whether the parameter was added or removed.  For the new cmdlets, they are just have a “+” and their parameters aren’t listed, while cmdlets removed have a “-“.

The list does have a small surprise: the SCVMM team has renamed some of their cmdlets to have “SC” in the noun.  So, you’ll see “Add-SCVMHost” being added, and “Add-VMHost” being removed, if you look closely.

VMM 2008 R2: Changes from RTM to SP1

Using a script Shay Levy wrote HERE, I have the following list of cmdlet changes that have occurred between Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 R2 and SP1.

So below is a listing of the parameter changes to each of the cmdlets.  There aren’t actually any cmdlet changes (like a new or removed cmdlet).  In this case, all of the changes are actually just new parameters that have been added.

All of the changes are around the new SP1 features like Dynamic Memory and RemoteFX (see HERE).

Cerebrata.com: A community success story

(I’m several months behind in putting this out!)

A few months ago, Cerebrata had a public beta of their new released Azure cmdlets.  I came across the announcement on Twitter and fired it off to others who checked it out.

I had exchanged a few emails with their support when I discovered that something seemed to be odd/wrong when I tried to install their cmdlets on my 64-bit system.  They were very helpful in trying to determine the problem, and it was on my end.

But that was the thing that least impressed me actually…  They were very receptive of suggestions from Microsoft MVPs around their naming conventions.  There were a few unapproved verbs and also some pluralisms in their naming.  They were very quick to make changes to their code, or provide arguments why they felt their original approach was correct.

Thanks Guarav (from Cerebrata)!  By working together, we can try to make the PowerShell experience an awesome (and consistent) one for everyone.
