Creating new VM folder with PowerCLI New-Folder cmdlet as VM folder

[MikeR3]

Good Afternoon,

As the title implies, this is what I'm trying to do, but when I create the folder it is set to the 'Hosts and Clusters' type.

Is there a way to create or modify it for VM usage? I can't seem to find any reference for doing so in the PowerCLI docs.

Thanks.

You will have to provide the hidden parent folder 'vm' on the location.
If you just provide a Datacenter as Location it will create a folder of type Hosts & Clusters
See the New-Folder cmdlet.

Get-DataCenter -Name MyDC | Get-Folder -Name vm |
New-Folder -Name MyFolder

Worked perfectly, thanks Luc.
