stop-vm vs. stop-button

[DMBrosig]

Hi, and sorry for my bad english.

If I stop a vm with stop-vm, the vm stops immediatly, there is no shutdown prozess. If I press the stop button, the linux-vm start a regular shutdown.

How can I do a regular shutdown with powercli command's.

Thank's and best regards

Micha

For a guest OS shutdown you should use the Shutdown-VMGuest cmdlet.
