Hey Checkyourlogs Fans,

If you haven’t had a chance to yet you should grab yourself a copy of our latest book.

Deploying System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2016 – Step by Step

https://leanpub.com/deployingsystemcentervirtualmachinemanager2016


In this book we walk through the core networking setup for Storage Spaces Direct and unfortunately in the first version we didn’t document it with PowerShell.

There are about a million steps to get this done so I figured PowerShell is our friend for this task.


Here is copy of the new script that we built today for our next release of the book which will feature Windows Insiders Build 17079 and SCVMM 1711 Technical Preview.

You can download a copy of the script from here:

#Build Script for VMM Networking
#Run from the VMM Server
Import-Module VirtualMachineManager
#For the purpose of this book I haven't put any -VLanID's in... You can modify as you like.
#Cleaned up the Script to use -Name istead of -ID 
#Base Script is just copied from the VMM Console and modified
