You probably already know that Virtual Server provides a complete set of COM interfaces for programmatic management (see Start > All Programs > Microsoft Virtual Server > Virtual Server Programmer's Guide). But did you know about the Virtual Server script repository on TechNet? It contains sample scripts for tasks such as managing virtual hard disks, configuring Virtual Server and virtual machines, configuring security, and managing virtual networks.You can find the repository at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/scripts/vs/default.mspx.

On December 14, 2004, Robert Larson showed us how to work with the Virtual Server 2005 COM API and create scripts for automating tasks like virtual machine creation, configuration, enumeration, and provisioning virtual machines for a test lab. This was a Level 300 class, and assumed a knowledge of VBScript. I learned a lot about speeding up the provisioning process from this Webcast.
