Scheduled Revert of a VM to a snapshot

[thepieman]

I'm new to Powershell and need to script a Virtual Machine to revert to a Snapshot on a weekly basis

The Snapshot name and VM name will always be know

I presume I can scedule via Windows Task Scheduler?

Have a look at .

Hi,

Below script can be used to revert to a Snapshot.

$server = get-viserver -server ) -Confirm:$false

This script can be scheduled to run on weekly basis by scheduler.

Thanks

$server = get-viserver -server <server> -user <user> -password <pwd>

Set-VM -Snapshot (Get-Snapshot -Name <Snp Name> -VM (Get-VM -Name <VM Name>)) -VM (Get-VM -Name <VM Name>) -Confirm:$false

Variant on the above to get you used to the pipeline:

$vmname = "foo"

$snapname = "weekly revert snapshot"

$vm = get-vm $vmname

$vm | set-vm -snapshot ( $vm | get-snapshot $snapname ) -confirm:$false
