The Suspend-SCService cmdlet pauses a Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) service and all virtual machines within the service. To resume the service, use the Resume-SCService cmdlet.
Examples
Example 1: Suspend a specific service
PS C:\> $Service = Get-SCService -Name "Service01"
PS C:\> Suspend-SCService -Service $ServiceThe first command gets the service object named Service01 and stores the object in the $Service variable.
