New and Deprecated PowerShell commands in System Center 2012 R2 Virtual Machine Manager

Since I’m in the middle of doing some heavy scripting in VMM at the moment, I thought I’d take five minutes to dive into what new cmdlets we gained with the R2 release and to check that my scripts weren’t using any cmdlets that had been deprecated/removed.

In total we now have 97 new cmdlets in R2 and we loose 7.

		Cmdlet	Function	Grand Total
New to R2		97		97
Present in SP1		518	4	522
Grand Total		615	4	619

	Cmdlet	Grand Total
Removed in R2	7	7
Grand Total	7	7
