Summary<\/b>: Use Windows PowerShell 4.0 to find a virtual machine.<\/p>\n

\"Hey, How can I use Windows PowerShell 4.0 to find a virtual machine when I only have partial name information so I can stop it or make other changes as required?<\/p>\n

\"Hey, Use the Get-VM<\/b> cmdlet to return virtual machine objects, use the dotted W<\/strong>here<\/b>, and filter with a script block.
          Add the name<\/b> property, and use a regular expression (or wild card) to match the virtual machine
          that you are interested in. The following command finds a virtual machine with a name that begins with c1<\/b>:<\/p>\n

(get-vm).Where{$_.name -match '^c1'}<\/p>\n
