Configures the BIOS of a virtual machine.
Set-VMBios [-VMName] <String[]> [-ComputerName <String[]>] [-DisableNumLock] [-EnableNumLock] [-Passthru]
[-StartupOrder <BootDevice[]>] [-Confirm] [-WhatIf]
Set-VMBios [-VM] <VirtualMachine[]> [-DisableNumLock] [-EnableNumLock] [-Passthru]
[-StartupOrder <BootDevice[]>] [-Confirm] [-WhatIf]
Set-VMBios [-VMBios] <VMBios[]> [-DisableNumLock] [-EnableNumLock] [-Passthru] [-StartupOrder <BootDevice[]>]
[-Confirm] [-WhatIf]
The Set-VMBios cmdlet configures the BIOS of a virtual machine.
PS C:\> Set-VMBios TestVM -DisableNumLock
This example disables the NumLock key by default on virtual machine TestVM.
PS C:\> Set-VMBios TestVM -StartupOrder @("Floppy", "LegacyNetworkAdapter", "CD", "IDE")
This example configures virtual machine TestVM to check for a boot device in the following order: floppy disk, network, CD drive, hard disk.
Specifies one or more Hyper-V hosts for which the BIOS is to be configured. NetBIOS names, IP addresses, and fully-qualified domain names are allowable. The default is the local computer - use "localhost" or a dot (".") to specify the local computer explicitly.
