The following command create the new VM-Host object "ESX21" in the context "Virtual Environments\ESXServers":

$MyVMHostComputer = Get-EmdbComputer "emdb:\rootDSE\Managed Users & Computers\solys.local\Chicago\ITService\Servers\SRV23"

Cd "emdb:\rootDSE\Managed Virtual Environments\Hyper-V Servers"

New-EmdbVirtualHost "HVSRV23" -VirtualizationPlatform "Hyper-V" -RunningOn $MyVMHostComputer
