Manchester was great - and I particularly liked the look how clever you can be with Powershell.

Can you share more of the stuff that you did with Hyper-V and VMs. I'm particularly interested in the ability to create VMs on the fly ...

Keep up the good work

Thanks

Tim, Andy, Glad you enjoyed the roadshow. They're take a lot of work (and not just from the guys on stage) so it's always good to hear that people appreciate it.

Tim, I'm putting up the bits a little at a time so a few posts back you'll find one on creating hard disks. And in the next few minutes I'll post one about snapshots.

Then will come the generic process for adding and modifying resources.

I'm also trying to find out why one key bit of code (which creates the New VM) only works in powershell 2.0 - probably the way I've written it. I'll make the whole thing available in one piece and if anyone's keen to be a beta tester than can mail me and I'll let them have a copy. I'm probably at about V0.6 or V0.7 right now. No remote support, no remove NIC, or SCSI controller, no change NIC connection, no import/export of configuration information. No expand or Merge of VHD files. No changing of bios type settings for the VM. Apart from those everything else is working.

Hyper-v Snapshots part 2.
