azure - Using Powershell to shutdown VM created using Preview Portal, with no Cloud Service Name

Question

How can I use Powershell to shutdown a Virtual Machine created using the Azure Preview Portal when there is no Cloud Service Name? i.e. what do I put for the ServiceName parameter...

Thanks!

If it's a vm created using the resource manager api (and I guess it is if it doesn't have a cloud service), you need to switch to the resource manager mode in Powershell and access your vms from there:

Switch-AzureMode -Name AzureResourceManager
$vms = Get-AzureVM
