Add Shared Virtual Disk via Powershell

Hello All,

I'm trying to solve a particular problem, and part of that solution is the Shared Virtual Disk feature of Hyper-V 2012 R2.  What I have is a script that creates VMs at "run time" utilizing differencing disks off a primary parent VM.  All of these new VMs need to share a disk of known files (build tools, drivers) across the board for the VMs.  The script I have creates New VMs and adds a SCSI controller to each VM, then attaches the VHDX to the SCSI controller, however there is no setting that I can find in Powershell to enable this to be a SHARED DISK.

Instructions for enabling Shared disk are found here:

Instructions for Add-VMHardDiskDrive are here:

None of them specify the ability to set the disk to Shared in Powershell...

Any tips?

Thanks
