Summary: Use Windows PowerShell to add a network adapter to a virtual machine.

Hey, Scripting Guy! Question How do I add a network adapter to my virtual machine on Hyper-V?

Hey, Scripting Guy! Answer Use the ADD-VMNetworkAdapter cmdlet:

ADD-VMNetworkAdapter -vmname “My Virtual Machine” -switchname “ProdVlan”
