Provision VM on Hyper-V Cluster

The following code provides a scripted way to provision a Virtual Machine on a Hyper-V Cluster using SCVMM Powershell commandlets.
Step1
Create a Template VM with required Hard Disk and place it to the SCVMM Library
Step2
Run the script
Logic statements >

$Template = Get-Template -VMMServer $VMMServer | where {$_.Name -eq VDI_Template}

$Template holds the VDI Template Object that was created in step 1

$BestHost = $(Get-VMHostRating -Template $Template -VMName temp -VMHostGroup $VMClusterHostGroup -DiskSpaceGB 15 | sort rating -Descending | select -First 1 -Property VMHost).VMHost

$BestHost will hold the suitable hyper-v host from the cluster, it does by getting all the hosts from the cluster, sorts them by the rating and selects the first one.

$Path = $(Get-VMHostVolume -VMHost $BestHost | where {$_.IsClustered -and $_.IsAvailableForPlacement -and $_.Capacity -gt 15GB } | select Name -First 1).Name

The VM Path is selected by querying volume for the selected Hyper-V host and filters out the local disks with $_.IsClustered and Quorum disk with $_.Capacity properties.
