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.
