Webcast: Managing Hyper-V Virtual Machines with WMI and Windows PowerShell

 

Start Date: Wednesday, July 02, 2008 8:00 AM Pacific Time (US & Canada)

 

Event Overview

Before the beta release of Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008, there was only one option for automating management of Hyper-V virtual machines—Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI). In this webcast, you learn how to automate the most common management tasks, how to create a delegation model using Windows Authorization Manager, and where the power of WMI can pick up where Virtual Machine Manager leaves off. In addition, the Hewlett-Packard Windows Server 2008 Academy team shares their experience automating the deployment of 600 virtual machines in less than three hours using WMI and Windows PowerShell.

 
Presenters: Dung Hoang Khac, Principal Consultant, HP, and Aric Bernard, Senior Technology Consultant, HP

You can download the webcast recordings for offline view (14MB).

 

Event Overview

We have deployed 660 virtual machines for the student labs that are a key part of the week-long Academy. Provisioning and lab setup was administered using Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2007 and Window PowerShell. This fast-paced webcast summarizes the IT professional experience of using a Windows PowerShell script and Virtual Machine Manager to automate the deployment of virtual machines (VMs). We review the HP academy, introduce Virtual Machine Manager and its features, walk though how the VMs were deployed via the scripted process, and discuss the benefits of using Virtual Machine Manager and Windows PowerShell to manage the VMs once they have been deployed. We also give you tips for using the Virtual Machine Manager Windows PowerShell cmdlets! Attend this presentation to gain the confidence to start automating the administrating virtual environments using Virtual Machine Manager and Windows PowerShell.
