Como faço para esperar em um start / stop de uma máquina virtual no powershell?

Question

Eu tenho este script do powershell que estou chamando para fazer backup das máquinas virtuais de nossos clientes:

O problema é com o start-vm e o stop-vm. O script não está esperando até que a VM tenha parado ou iniciado antes de continuar para a próxima linha.

Como posso fazer isso para que meu roteiro pare de quebrar?

Obrigado!

Eu mudei o código para isso:

  Stop-VM -Name $VMNames
  while ((get-vm -name $vmnames).state -ne 'Running') 
  { 
    $a = Get-Date
    Write-Output "Waiting 5 seconds for $VMName to stop: $a"

    $state = (get-vm -name $vmnames).state
    Write-Output "State: $state"
    start-sleep -s 5 
  }

e estou recebendo isso:

PS H:\> H:\VeeamBackupZimbra.ps1
Waiting 5 seconds for ZIMBRA to stop: 07/21/2016 14:39:03
State: Off
Waiting 5 seconds for ZIMBRA to stop: 07/21/2016 14:39:08
State: Off
Waiting 5 seconds for ZIMBRA to stop: 07/21/2016 14:39:13
State: Off
Waiting 5 seconds for ZIMBRA to stop: 07/21/2016 14:39:18
State: Off
Waiting 5 seconds for ZIMBRA to stop: 07/21/2016 14:39:23
State: Off

Um loop infinito.

Alguma sugestão?

Isso esperará até que a VM esteja em execução:

while ((get-vm -name $vmnames).state -ne 'Running') { start-sleep -s 5 }

E isso vai esperar até que a VM esteja desligada:

while ((get-vm -name $vmnames).state -ne 'Off') { start-sleep -s 5 }
