Summary

Reviewed version of the Hyper-V host lifecycle audit script from DTC-Inc/msp-script-library#48, incorporating all CodeRabbit feedback and senior engineer review.

Changes from original PR

  • Preflight checks: Added #Requires -RunAsAdministrator and #Requires -Modules Hyper-V so the script fails fast with a clear message instead of cryptic cmdlet errors
  • Cache Get-VM once: $allVMs = Get-VM called once and reused across VM Inventory, VHDX, and Checkpoints sections — eliminates repeated calls and cross-section drift
  • Transcript logging: Start-Transcript/Stop-Transcript writes to %SystemRoot%\Logs\HyperVAudit with timestamped hostname filenames for QA evidence retention
  • Real error handling: Replaced -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue with try/catch on Get-VHD, Get-VMSnapshot, and Get-NetAdapterVmq — audit scripts should surface failures, not hide them
  • Repo conventions: Added comment-based help (.SYNOPSIS, .DESCRIPTION, .PARAMETER, .EXAMPLE, .NOTES), [CmdletBinding()], and -LogPath parameter matching existing script patterns

Addresses all CodeRabbit review feedback from DTC-Inc/msp-script-library#48:

- Add #Requires -RunAsAdministrator and #Requires -Modules Hyper-V
  for preflight validation (Issue 1: missing preflight checks)
- Cache Get-VM result once ($allVMs) to avoid repeated calls and
  cross-section drift during long runs (Issue 2: repeated Get-VM)
- Add Start-Transcript/Stop-Transcript logging to %SystemRoot%\Logs
  for QA evidence retention (nitpick: console-only output)
- Replace -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue with try/catch blocks on
  Get-VHD, Get-VMSnapshot, and Get-NetAdapterVmq to surface real
  errors instead of silently masking them (nitpick: audit masking)
- Add proper comment-based help, CmdletBinding, and -LogPath param
  to match repo script conventions
