## Purpose
|
||||
If you have a GuestVM that will not stop gracefully either because the Hyper-V host is goofed-up or the VMMS service won't allow you to restart it. You can perform a hail-mary to forcefully stop the GuestVM's Hyper-V process.
|
||||
|
||||
!!! warning "May Cause GuestVM to be Inconsistent"
|
||||
This is meant as a last-resort when there are no other options on-the-table. You may end up corrupting the GuestVM by doing this.
|
||||
|
||||
### Get the VMID of the GuestVM
|
||||
```powershell
|
||||
Get-VM SERVER-01 | Select VMName, VMId
|
||||
|
||||
# Example Output
|
||||
# VMName VMId
|
||||
# ------ ------------------------------------
|
||||
# DC3 3e4b6f91-6c6c-4075-9b7e-389d46315074
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Extrapolate Process ID
|
||||
Now you need to hunt-down the process ID associated with the GuestVM.
|
||||
```powershell
|
||||
Get-CimInstance Win32_Process -Filter "Name='vmwp.exe'" |
|
||||
Where-Object { $_.CommandLine -match "3e4b6f91-6c6c-4075-9b7e-389d46315074" } |
|
||||
Select-Object ProcessId, CommandLine
|
||||
|
||||
# Example Output
|
||||
# ProcessId CommandLine
|
||||
# --------- ---------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
# 12488 "C:\Windows\System32\vmwp.exe" -vmid 3e4b6f91-6c6c-4075-9b7e-389d46315074
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Terminate Process
|
||||
Lastly, you terminate the process by its ID.
|
||||
```powershell
|
||||
Stop-Process -Id 12488 -Force
|
||||
```
