Start Windows Sandbox with parameters

I use Windows Sandbox a lot for testing Endpoint Manager packages or software. Sometimes you want to start it with specific options (Connect a folder on your hard drive or start without a network connection).

This blog post shows you how to start Windows Sandbox using PowerShell with parameters without creating multiple configuration files.

In this blog post, I wanted to show you how to collect all the new cmdlets and their description, synopsis (A summary), and the help URL for more information.
