So, I double-checked on another computer, and it is not that easy: the id must be parsed...

  • On my first machine the id was: Microsoft:92E819AC-4AF5-4417-8227-65251A9303F7\2497F4DE-E9FA-4204-80E4-4B75C46419C0
  • On the second one: Microsoft:A43838FD-F598-4C0B-A5D5-C122E9482EA8\2497F4DE-E9FA-4204-80E4-4B75C46419C0

Only Microsoft and the Guid after the \ are common.

Making the script respect locale seems doable.

Yes, this seems to work:

$name = (Get-VMIntegrationService -VMName DockerDesktopVM | Where-Object { $_.Id.StartsWith("Microsoft:") -and $_.Id.EndsWith("\2497F4DE-E9FA-4204-80E4-4B75C46419C0") }).Name

Nice. Good job. I've updated the original gist. Thank you. :)

By the way, I upgraded my Docker for Windows to version 2.2.0.5 and it seems to be much better at resyncing time after the PC went to hibernation. Anyway the script may still prove useful if there are cases when sync fails!
