Description

The Disable-VMConsoleSupport cmdlet disables keyboard, video, and mouse for virtual machines.

Examples

Example 1: Disable keyboard, video, and mouse support 

PS C:\> $VM = Get-VM -ComputerName "Server01"
PS C:\> Disable-VMConsoleSupport -VM $VM

The first command uses the Get-VM cmdlet to obtain the virtual machines on the host named Server01. The command stores the results in the $VM variable.

The second command disables keyboard, video, and mouse support on the virtual machine or virtual machines in $VM .
