Many thanks.

Help new-VM -full

New-Vm ... -VHDPath <existing vhd file> ....

it's not a local Hyper-V System -> it's a VMM and there are some parts like virtualadapter, hardwareprofile....

help New-SCVirtualMachine

New-SCVirtualMachine .... -VirtualHardDisk<StandaloneVirtualHardDisk> ...

$servername = "00SRTESTVM"		
$RAMSize = 2048

$NetworkSwitch1 = "UCS-Switch01"	
$LibPath = "\\SrSCVMM2.joe.local\MSSCVMMLibrary2\VHDs\Win2012R2"

I have following error:

How can I fix that Problem?
