Okay, now that we have gone through all the information about PowerShell and Windows Server 2012 enhancement for PowerShell, let's see how PowerShell can help us manage Hyper-V. Earlier, PowerShell's support for Hyper-V was not available in a direct way. What I mean by a direct way is that we didn't have PowerShell cmdlets for the Hyper-V role of Windows Server, but we had PowerShell support for System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM). It let us perform a few Hyper-V related tasks, but it was an indirect method as you had to automate and perform management tasks for SCVMM, which actually performed jobs for Hyper-V.

With Windows Server 2012, Microsoft introduced Hyper-V specific cmdlets for managing and automating Hyper-V related simple and complex tasks. An organization can use these available cmdlets and create its custom scripts to get the most out of Hyper-V automation.
