Hey guys, we have SCVMM 2012 R2, and I'd love to use a *local* DVD as a boot ISO. Currently, I can script this with Hyper-V 2012 (Set-VMDvdDrive) or a very elaborate set of WMI calls in 2008r2. However, I don't want this ISO in the library on a UNC path. Why?
We have 300+ servers all connected over WAN links. I do not want to copy over 450mb+ just to use an ISO when they already have it locally. However, I cannot figure out a way of telling SCVMM to leverage a local, already existing, ISO.
It obviously has the capability, because the VM Additions ISO is there in the Windows\System32 folder, and not in a "library".
Also, I don't want to add 300+ libraries either, that's also a waste.
Any ideas? Preferably powershell (Set-SCISO, Set-SCVirtualDVDDrive) I hate touching the GUI unless I really need to. I'd useSet-VMDvdDrive but 90% of our servers are 2008r2 and we won't be upgrading them anytime soon - the WMI calls are brutally slow and are very non-friendly.
Thanks!
