How to change guest operating system option using PowerCLI

[DyJohnnY]

Hi,

I want to be able to change PowerCLI guest operating system setting for a VM.

I'm sure there is a way to do it, but I did not find it easily in the API.

Thanks,

Ionut

You should be able to do that with the Set-VM cmdlet and the GuestId parameter.

Something like this

Get-VM MyVM | Set-VM -GuestId "windows7_64Guest"

You can find the valid values in the VirtualMachineGuestOsIdentifier enumeration.
