Description

The Use-SCStopVM cmdlet shuts down a virtual machine in System Center Virtual Machine Manager. This cmdlet changes the virtual machine to the Stopped state regardless of the current state.

Examples

Example 1: Move a virtual machine to the Stopped state

PS C:\> $VM01 = Get-SCVirtualmachine -Name "ContosoVM01"
PS C:\> Use-SCStopVM -VM $VM01
