Description

The Set-VMComPort cmdlet configures the COM port of a virtual machine.

Examples

Example 1

PS C:\> Set-VMComPort TestVM 2 \\.\pipe\TestPipe

Configure the second COM port on virtual machine TestVM to connect to named pipe TestPipe on the local computer.

Note

You can then access the named pipe using a third-party application or develop your own application.
