Re: Rename VM via PowerCLI

I don't think that you have to wait. You can specify the new name using the Set-VM -Name parameter: The following works for me:

PowerCLI C:\Users\Robert> $VM = Get-VM -Name test1
PowerCLI C:\Users\Robert> $VM

Name                 PowerState Num CPUs MemoryGB
----                 ---------- -------- --------
test1                PoweredOff 1        0,250

PowerCLI C:\Users\Robert> Set-VM -VM $VM -Name test2 -Confirm:$false

Name                 PowerState Num CPUs MemoryGB
----                 ---------- -------- --------
test2                PoweredOff 1        0,250
