This enables the configurations to be grouped together. The name and collection identify the configuration’s file name and the folder that it will be stored in under a root folder. You can also indicate if you want the running VMs to be stopped first and if you want to connect to the last VM started. The utility lists the installed VMs, and an optional list of other names stored in a text file, so you can select the ones needed, the order in which they are to start and the delay between the calls to start the VMs. This is further complicated by the need for a 5 minute delay between the machines starting to enable each machine to settle down before the next one starts. The catch is that different modules require different sets of three VMs. The context: As part of the teaching that I do (I am a Microsoft Certified Trainer) I have a class that requires running three virtual machines at a time.

This article focusses on the GUI aspects of the development.
#SAPIEN POWERSHELL STUDIO INSERT TEXTBOX WINDOWS#
This article will look at the creation of a Windows Forms application using PowerShell Studio ( ) to develop a utility to manage the starting of sets of virtual machines with an optional delay between them and being able to automatically connect to the last machine started. NET Framework it is possible to write any application that can be written using Visual Studio and C# in PowerShell.
