Some useful scripting command to start:

note: Before using any cmdlets to access your managed environment, you first need to connect to your VMM server

Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SystemCenter.VirtualMachineManager

note: Run the VMM cmdlets from the Windows PowerShell command window instead of the VMM command shell, you will need to add the VMM snap-in.
