Using Powershell to Poweron VMs

[joeflint]

I have a requirement to prompt users for either an IP address or VM name and then power on the VM.

Does anyone know how to script this requirement?

Thanks

Is something like this sufficient ?

$vmName = Read-Host "VMname"
Get-VM -Name $vmName | Start-VM

Thanks - I'll give this a try.
