使用克隆及模板的方式來部署虛擬機，但不管是從模板部署還是對虛擬機進行克隆，都只能一對一，不能一對多。如果需要部署N臺虛擬機的話，兩種方法都不是那么有效。那么是否有更快捷的方法呢?當然有，用腳本PowerCLI。接下來我就用PowerCLI來同時部署多臺虛擬機。

　　Step1：自定義虛擬機模板

　　Registration information: name company

　　Computer name: Use the virtual machine name (important)

　　Product key: Didn’t need it because I’ve configured KMS

　　Password: Company default local administrator password, selected: Automatically login as the Administrator: 2

　　Timezone: GMT+0100 (Amsterdam)

　　Runonce: none

　　Network: Typical settings

　　Workgroup or Domain: selected to auto join the domain with domain administrator credentials + domain name (important)

　　Operation System Options: Selected: Generate New Security ID (SID)

　　Step2：VM模板設置

　　Hard disk: 40 GB with only OS configured with company standard policy

　　VMware tools: Latest, this must be installed for Specification Template and NIC

　　Network: VMXNET3 (needed VMware Tools for driver)

　　Step3：腳本保存(saved as: FileserverDeploy.ps1)

　　New-vm -vmhost esx04.vmpros.local -Name FS-SVR01 -Template WIN2008R2_Template -Datastore datastore2

　　-OSCustomizationspec WIN2008R2_Template

　　New-vm -vmhost esx04.vmpros.local -Name FS-SVR02 -Template WIN2008R2_Template -Datastore datastore2

　　-OSCustomizationspec WIN2008R2_Template

　　New-vm -vmhost esx04.vmpros.local -Name FS-SVR03 -Template WIN2008R2_Template -Datastore datastore2

　　-OSCustomizationspec WIN2008R2_Template

　　New-vm -vmhost esx04.vmpros.local -Name FS-SVR04 -Template WIN2008R2_Template -Datastore datastore2

　　-OSCustomizationspec WIN2008R2_Template

　　New-vm -vmhost esx04.vmpros.local -Name FS-SVR05 -Template WIN2008R2_Template -Datastore datastore2

　　-OSCustomizationspec WIN2008R2_Template

　　-vmhost = Target host;

　　-Name = Name of new VM;

　　-Template: From wich template you want to deploy the new VM;

　　-Datastore: Target datastore to place the new VM;

　　-OSCustomizationspec = Wich “prep” template you want to deploy the new VM;
