Build Your Demo Environment with Windows PowerShell
summary
Uses Windows PowerShell 3.0 and Client Hyper-V on Windows 8 to convert ISOs to bootable VHDs with Convert-WindowsImage, create a Server Core base and spin up VMs as differencing disks, then deploy and promote a domain controller, add DHCP, and join two nodes in parallel via a workflow using WSMan for Restart-Computer. Claims a full demo lab in about 30–35 minutes, scripts mostly work end-to-end with only a name collision causing a minor join failure.
