This script predates R2 and wasn’t updated. When I get some time, I will patch it in.

Ok, I can now see the Dynamic mode that was introduced with Windows 2012 R2 is not supported in this script.

Thanks for the heads-up. Inconsistency certainly wasn’t intentional. In all cases, the inputs should only check to see if there is a “y” or an “n” for the first character. I’ll give it a review.

Thanks for the hard work.

Well, thanks! I’m honored to be asked. At this time, I’m in the middle of two major projects, one of which is a bottom-up rework of the Corefig project, which seems to have some overlap with what you’re doing. The other project is consuming most of my time, but we can circle back at a later time.

This code take the guess work out of it, for a simple vswitch that is to use the smae NIC and IP as your VHOST management NIC or if you only have one NIC.

$VHOST = $Env:COMPUTERNAME
$vhost
get-vmswitch
Write-Host -foreground “magenta” “”
Write-Host -foreground “magenta” “If there are no vSwitches shown, you have none built. ”
Write-Host -foreground “magenta” “”

#Get the NIC aliases and Ip addresses
Write-Host -foreground “magenta” “Listing of your NIC’s and IP addresses”
Get-NetIPAddress | Where-Object {$_.ipaddress -like “*.*.*.*”} | select interfacealias, ipaddress | format-table -autosize

#Ask for input
$SelectedIndex = Read-Host “Type 0 to exit out of this Menu or Enter to Continue”
$Exit = $SelectedIndex

if($EXIT -eq 0)
{exit}
else {
$SelectedIndex1 = Read-Host “Type the Interface Alias name that is next to your VHOST’s IP Address”
$SelectedIndex2 = Read-Host “Type the vSwitch Name”

$NIC = $SelectedIndex1
$VSWITCH = $SelectedIndex2

Write-Host -foreground “magenta” “”
Write-Host -foreground “magenta” “Creating the vSwitch called “$VSWITCH” on the NIC named “$NIC” – Be patient this takes approx 90 seconds.”
New-VMSwitch -Name “$VSWITCH” -NetAdapterName “$NIC” -AllowManagementOS $True
get-vmswitch}

For a newbie using this code should be simple, your code asks questions I still do not know the real answer too but I just got lucky with my guesses. Hope this helps. someone out there.
