    John Kelbley provides one, you can leave feedback here or contact johnkel@microsoft.com:

    strComputer = "."
    Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\virtualization")
    Set vmcollecion = objWMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Msvm_ComputerSystem",,48)

    ' loop through all instances in collection
    For each vm in vmcollecion
     RequestReturn = vm.RequestStateChange(3)
    Next
