When working with SCVMM it is common to perform administrative tasks using PowerShell. One very nice thing in SCVMM is that when using the UI it will create a script in the end and the idea is that you should be able to use that script and you can, one time…why?

…because you need to generate a new ID every time you run the script, so how do you do that?

$JobGroupID1 = [Guid]::NewGuid().ToString()
