Hi Robert,

I took a look at this and the best I could do for a 1 liner is;

New-VM -Name TEST -NoVHD -Generation "2" | Add-VMHardDiskDrive -Path (New-VHD -Path "E:\Hyper-V\Virtual Hard Disks\Test.vhdx" -SizeBytes 25GB -Dynamic).Path -MinimumIOPS "2500"

As for alerts do you have the Microsoft-Windows-Hyper-V-VMMS/Admin log? On 2016 I get event ID 32930, if not set the IOPS value to something unachievable and check the event viewer 'Administrative Events'

Thanks Steve. I will check for those events as well. Also on the PowerShell command I think after much toiling I came up with something similar to your command.
