SHORT DESCRIPTION
    Provides an overview of cmdlet and parameter name mapping between previous
    versions of VMM and Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) for System Center 2012.

LONG DESCRIPTION
    All cmdlets in VMM for System Center 2012 have new names. Each cmdlet 
    noun is preceded with an "SC". This includes cmdlets that were in previous 
    versions of VMM. For example, in VMM 2008, you would have used the cmdlet
    Get-VMHost to retrieve a VMM host object. In VMM for System Center 2012, 
    this cmdlet is now named Get-SCVMHost. In addition, several parameters 
    that existed in previous versions of VMM have been renamed.

    To preserve a high level of backward compatibility functionality with
    the new naming convention, aliases have been added so that when you call 
    a cmdlet by its previous name, the new version of the cmdlet runs.
    However, we strongly recommend that you review all cmdlets in order to
    discover any enhanced functionality introduced with expanded parameter
    sets. 

    Some noun names have been updated, and some verb names have been changed.
    The following mapping contains cmdlets that were renamed in this release,
    beyond the addition of "SC" to the noun.
