Deploying VM(s) with Powershell Script

I've been working on this for a while and currently use this to deploy VM(s) in batches for my environment.

It takes the parameters from a CSV file and deploys the standard OS VM(s) template to new VM(s). All you need to do is add any data/application drives. It isn't perfect, but I'm still working on it.








Things I want to add:
  • add any data/application drives
  • a method for deploying to appropriate datastore without checking GUI myself
  • check if dynamic virtual port group has enough free ports, adding one as needed
  • script more of the overall post VM deployment steps for my environment
