Quick Post, been doing a lot of ConfigMgr OSD Deployments lately, with a lot of Hyper-V test hosts.
For my test hosts, I’ve been creating Machine Objects in ConfigMgr by manually entering them in one at a time (yuck). So I was wondering what the process is for entering in Machine Objects via PowerShell.
Additionally, I was curious how to inject variables into the Machine Object that could be used later on in the deployment Process, in this case a Role.
Up next, how to extract this information from VMWare <meh>.

| .SYNOPSIS | |
| Generate a computer list from Hyper-V ready to import into Configuration Manager | |
| .DESCRIPTION | |
| Given a Hyper-V server and a set of Hyper-V Virtual Machines, this script will | |
| extract out the necessary information required to create the associated Machine Object in | |
| Configuration Manager. | |
| .PARAMETER Path | |
| Name of the CSV file to be created | |
| .PARAMETER SourceComputer | |
| Optional parameter used to pre-populate the SourceComputer Field in the CSV output. | |
| .PARAMETER Role | |
| Optional Paramater used to pre-populate the | |
| .NOTES | |
| If you modify this file in Excel, you should save the file in "CSV (MS-DOS) *.csv" format to ensure there are no extra double-quotes present. | |
| .EXAMPLE | |
| .\Get-VMListFOrCM.ps1 | ft | |
| Get all virtual machines and display in a table. | |
| .EXAMPLE | |
| .\Get-VMListFOrCM.ps1 | convertto-csv -NoTypeInformation | % { $_.replace('"','') } | |
| Find all Virtual Machines and convert to a CSV format without any doublequotes. | |
| .EXAMPLE | |
| .\Get-VMListFOrCM.ps1 -Verbose -name hyd-cli* -Role ROLE_Test1 -path .\test.csv | |
| Find all Virtual Machines that start with the name HYD-CLI, and export to .\test.csv | |
