I’d suggest installing the Hyper-V Management tools on your desktop.Then use the VMConnect utility.

I think you need to move the $snapshot=… line into the foreach loop. You are looping through and resetting the value of $snapname every time. This isn’t a good place for code debugging. If you are still stuck, I encourage you to use the forums at PowerShell.org.

Did you try? You might also try: $VHD | Remove-VMHardDisk

Get-VMSnapshot -VMName MYVM| Sor-object -property CreationTime | Select-Object -first 1 | Remove-VMSnapshot

First, read the help and examples for Stop-VM. You should be able to to feed in parameter values to a command like: Stop-VM -name VM1 -computername VMSERVER1

Did you try: Stop-VM MYVM -force

Not sure I completely follow but would something like this work: get-vm MYVM| get-vmsnapshot | Get-VMHardDiskDrive | select VMName,Path

Hi Rafi,
There are a few ways you could implement this by running a PowerShell script. One way would be to query every VM and create a list of VHD files associated with every VM. Compare this list with all VHDs to find those which are not used. You could also check when each VHD file was last changed to ensure that it has not recently been accessed.
Thanks,
