    Tony this script is regarding finding out the virtual machine info for Microsoft vertual server. 
    But i am interested in Hyper-V machine virtual machine.
    I want the same info that you specified in above script.

    Thanks,
    Prashant Mandawdhare

    Try the PowerShell Management Library for Hyper-V at: http://pshyperv.codeplex.com/
    which includes, among many others:
    Finding a VM
    Get-VM, Choose-VM , Get-VMHost
