SCVMM extension for the new Team Build in action

I mentioned that a few times – I am a real enthusiast when it comes to certain topics, and Lab Management is one of these.

If you installed the SCVMM extension like I did in the last post, then you will find extremely easy to use it in your build process.

You’ll need to create a SCVMM Service Endpoint to allow the tasks to interact with the server:

Once this is done, you will find the new task under the Deploy tasks:

This task has some actions, and it can interact with both a host or a cloud:

There is also a minor bug in this version: if you try to start a VM the task will wait until the end of the specified Wait Time even if the VM is started. THis is going to be fixed soon though.
