PS – Local Hyper-V Manager – v20260220

    Stefan Peters

Welcome to the update of Local Hyper-V Manager v20260220. Today I release a new version of my most used script on my work laptop.

You can download the script here: LocalHyperVManager_v20260220.zip

What does the script do?

The script makes it easier and quicker to create new Virtual Machines on a local Hyper-V server. During my work I want to test new software, scripts and VMs are ideal for those. Also when working on Intune Autopilot deployments I usually use VMs to test the deployments. This tool I wrote allows me to create a new empty VM or a VM from a template in seconds.

Please read full info about this tool on this page.
