I wanted to get more VMs onto my Windows Server 8 Hyper-V lab, so I wanted to change my Dynamic Memory settings in my virtual machines.  I don’t have the patience to edit every VM.  PowerShell to the rescue:

Get-VM * | Set-VMMemory -DynamicMemoryEnabled $True -MaximumBytes 8GB -MinimumBytes 256MB -StartupBytes 512MB

This script gets every VM on this host, passes through the VM via the pipe into the Set-VMMeory cmdlet, and then reconfigures the Dynamic Memory settings that I care about.  Time required by editing & running this in ISE: 1 minute.
