> The Hyper-V PowerShell cmdlets that wrap the underlying Hyper-V WMI provider are well maintained and provide complete access to many settings not properly exposed in Hyper-V Manager.
I'm very familiar with Hyper-V, HVManager, and SCVMM. If you want to do anything more than a light touch deployment of a VM you're going to use Powershell. Microsoft has made that abundantly clear and even their training courses have you deploy through PS. SCVMM adds a nice wrapper with some additional orchestration. And it also adds a whole other library of PS that are also not exposed in their very advanced Windows SCVMM GUI.
This is a cool experiment but completely unnecessary. You can write a Powershell GUI with the settings and options that you prefer. It's what I've done when I wanted to see nice tabular view of VM resources that the existing GUIs could not give me. Give in to Powershell!
