Make sure the host version is 5+ before building a vm during automation

[bvi1006]

Hi,

I am using PS for WebAccess to build vms. Our cluster has 4.x hosts which will not support Windows 2012. In the script, I choose a host based upon some criteria, such as how many vm's it is already hosting, etc. ... But now that we have 5.x I have to be sure the host is 5.x before attempting to build a Windows 2012 vm. Is there a simple way to do this? I've poked around and not found anything really simplistic for my situation.

Thanks for any help!

You can use the Version property that is returned by Get-VMHost

Get-VMHost | Select Name,Version
