Description

The Update-AzureRmVM cmdlet updates the state of an Azure virtual machine to the state of a virtual machine object.

Examples

Example 1: Update a virtual machine

PS C:\> Update-AzureRmVM -ResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup11" -VM $VirtualMachine

This command updates the virtual machine, $VirtualMachine, in ResourceGroup11. The command updates it by using the virtual machine object stored in the $VirtualMachine variable. To obtain a virtual machine object, use the Get-AzureRmVM cmdlet.

Parameters

-AsJob

Run cmdlet in the background and return a Job to track progress.

Type:	SwitchParameter

Type:	String[]
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False
