Hi there!

Not work. I use as in vms-example.txt but I get error: "Cannot validate argument on parameter 'VmList'. The "Test-Path -Path $_ -PathType Leaf" validation script for the argument with value "D:\scripts\vms.txt" did not return a result of True. Determine why the validation script failed, and then try the command again. At line:1 char:69

I'm not sure what could be going wrong. I use the -List feature daily and I'm not currently having this issue?

Here's a couple of tips that might help:

The vms.txt should contain the names of the VM's as they are named in Hyper-V, not the NetBIOS or DNS name.

Make sure you are running the latest version: 21.12.28!

I use latest version and VM names from PS get-vm Where are the older versions available?

itkroplis commented 2 years ago

I understood where was problem. In stupidly Windows by default file extension is hidden. In PS I ls to folder and I saw vms.txt.txt Sorry for the inconvenience!
