Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of styles of text that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles, and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "After adding these Hyper-V components, the creation of our unattended.xml file is completed."

A block of code is set as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<component xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/
State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" publicKeyToken="31bf3856
ad364e35" processorArchitecture="amd64" name="Microsoft-Windows-
International-Core-WinPE">
  <SetupUILanguage>
    <UILanguage>en-US</UILanguage>
  </SetupUILanguage>
  <InputLocale>en-US</InputLocale>
  <UILanguage>en-US</UILanguage>
  <SystemLocale>en-US</SystemLocale>
  <UserLocale>en-US</UserLocale>
</component>

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

Set-VMHOST –computername localhost –virtualharddiskpath 'D:\VMs' Set-VMHOST –computername localhost –virtualmachinepath 'D:\VMs'
