Anyone playing around with hyper-v 2012 server? It seems pretty nice to be honest, come a long way since 2008

We have a HP server in our lab running 2012. We're an all Microsoft shop and it's a huge upgrade. So far we have about 5 2012 VMs running on it no problem. We were going to use it to demo a VDI solution but ran into driver issues for the GPU.

This is essentially what I am trying to run to get the new VM joined to the domain:

$domainAdminCredentials = (Get-Credential)
$script="Add-Computer -Domainname domain.net -Credential $cred -restart -force"
$GuestCredential = (Get-Credential)
Invoke-VMScript -VM $targetvm -ScriptText $script -GuestCredential $GuestCredential

I am running into an issue where after executing the terminal just sits there processing forever until I ctrl+c. Connecting into the remote console of the VM I am unable to find anything taking place. Any thoughts on this? Running the add-computer command in the VM itself works without a problem.

Invoke-VMScript takes a string for the Script parameter. PSCredential.ToString() always returns "System.Management.Automation.PSCredential" which is not a value Add-Computer is expecting. The prompt is probably waiting for credentials to be entered.

You're going to have to probably pass in the credentials in plain text and then construct the PSCredential object on the box.
