Clone VM with powershell

[VCPGuru]

Hi all, i have two quesitons:

1. how are you cloning today VMs with powershell (command)= ...?

2. are you having an errorhandling integrated, f.e. if a VM cloning fails you get an email alert?

Thank you in advance

Didn't notice the -Runasync on the New-VM cmdlet. In this case you can not use the pipeline.

Have a look at my About Async tasks, the Get-Task cmdlet and a hash table post.

It uses RunAsync and in line 16 you can see how the script starts the guest, provided the New-VM completes successfully.
