Turn off confirmation when changing CPU and Memory?

When running set-vm cmdlet, it is prompting me to confirm the action. This confirmation should only happen when I pass the -confirm flag. How can I get around this, so I can have it run as a schedule task with no one watching it.

PS I:\> set-vm $v -MemoryMB 2048 -NumCPU 2

Confirmation

Proceed with update of the following parameters of virtual machine with name

'PSAWHB20080305'?

New MemoryMB: 2048MB

New NumCPU: 2

Y - Continue with only the next step of the operation.

A - Continue with all the steps of the operation.

N - Skip this operation and proceed with the next operation.

L - Skip this operation and all subsequent operations.

S - Pause the current pipeline and return to the command prompt. Type "exit" to

resume the pipeline.
