Adding the device 'Microsoft:Hyper-V:Virtual CD/DVD Disk' to 'VMNAME' failed
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
I am writing a script that should help me automate deployments of my Hyper-V VMs testing environments. Right now I want new VMs to be created with empty VHDX drives and Windows installation ISO attached as a virtual DVD drive.
I've created several VMs with the New-VM cmdlet. However, it appears that this cmdlet does not have an option to attach the ISO when creating a new virtual machine. It appears that I have to use the Add-VMDvdDrive PowerShell cmdlet. Correct?
However, when I run the following command, I get an error:
Add-VMDvdDrive -VMName "VMNAME" -Path "F:WindowsServer2012R2.iso
Here is the error:
Add-VMDvdDrive : Adding the device 'Microsoft:Hyper-V:Virtual CD/DVD Disk' to 'VMNAME' failed.

you are using the add function. In this case you have a virtual DVD drive and want to "set" an attribute for this. The command should look like this:
Get-VM svn1.contoso.com | Get-VMDvdDrive | Set-VMDvdDrive "F:WindowsServer2012R2.iso
Keep in mind to always check what will happen by a command and add a -WhatIf.
