I have a little question thats been bugging me lately.
I am using PowerCLI to create a new VM and I want to use the -guestId parameter to specify the Guest OS.
Is there any built in documentation that lists all the available Guest IDs? It would be far quicker and easier if this was available offline in the documentation than having to open a browser each time to find what I am looking for.
I have tried get-help new-vm -detailed but the documentation refers me to to a website.
Thank you.
ok found it!
