Hello, this is my first script that I manage to create from start to finish.
What it does it connects to a Hyper-V Cluster, looks for a specific VM in that cluster and retains the node that it resides on, then connects to the node to shutdown/start the VM.
I made it like this because using the specific cluster Hyper-V commands (Stop-ClusterResource) doesn't do a complete shutdown, it just puts the VM on a sleep/pause state.
If you have any advice on how to improve this I would be grateful.
