Some friends here on the Hyper-V team shared a PowerShell 2.0 script for checking the integration services/integration components to see if they are current in your VMs:
# Test if the IC version is up to date param( [string]$vmName = $(throw "Must specify virtual machine name") ) $vm = gwmi -namespace root\virtualization Msvm_ComputerSystem -filter "ElementName='$vmName'" # Get the associated KVP Exchange component $kvp = gwmi -namespace root\virtualization ` -query "Associators of {$vm} where ResultClass=Msvm_KvpExchangeComponent" # Pull the Guest Intrinsic Exchange Items from XML into a hash $kvpHash = @{} if($kvp.GuestIntrinsicExchangeItems){ ([xml]("<xml>"+$kvp.GuestInstrinsicExchangeItems+"</xml>")).xml.instance | ` foreach{$kvphash.add($_.property[4].value,$_.property[1].value)} } # Save the guest's version $icVersionGuest = $kvpHash.IntegrationServicesVersion # Save the host's version $icVersionHost = (ls 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Virtualization\GuestInstaller').` GetValue("Microsoft-Hyper-V-Guest-Installer-Win60-Package") return -not $icVersionGuest -lt $icVersionHost
# Test if the IC version is up to date
param( [string]$vmName = $(throw "Must specify virtual machine name") )
$vm = gwmi -namespace root\virtualization Msvm_ComputerSystem -filter "ElementName='$vmName'"
# Get the associated KVP Exchange component $kvp = gwmi -namespace root\virtualization ` -query "Associators of {$vm} where ResultClass=Msvm_KvpExchangeComponent"
# Pull the Guest Intrinsic Exchange Items from XML into a hash $kvpHash = @{} if($kvp.GuestIntrinsicExchangeItems){ ([xml]("<xml>"+$kvp.GuestInstrinsicExchangeItems+"</xml>")).xml.instance | ` foreach{$kvphash.add($_.property[4].value,$_.property[1].value)} }
# Save the guest's version $icVersionGuest = $kvpHash.IntegrationServicesVersion
# Save the host's version $icVersionHost = (ls 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Virtualization\GuestInstaller').` GetValue("Microsoft-Hyper-V-Guest-Installer-Win60-Package")
return -not $icVersionGuest -lt $icVersionHost
