Code:

$clusters = get-cluster

foreach ($cluster in $clusters)
{
    foreach ($vmhost in ($cluster | get-vmhost))
    {
        $vmhost | get-vm | Select-Object @{Name="Cluster"; Expression={$cluster.name}},`
            Name
    }
}

I am not sure if this works as intended.  Usually what I see is when a host is a part of the cluster a Get-VMHost | Get-VM will get everything in the cluster.  This kind of makes sense since a host can no longer be a container object.

Can we skip that step altogether?  I am not at a place where I can test this, but I am thinking:

Code:

foreach ($cluster in Get-Cluster)
{
    $cluster | Get-VM | Select-Object @{Name="Cluster"; Expression={$cluster.name}}, Name
}

Good call EW, looks like it works just fine! (your snippet)

I am running this script:

foreach ($cluster in Get-Cluster)
{
    $cluster | Get-VM | Select-Object @{Name="Cluster"; Expression={$cluster.name}}, Name`
}


The first time it ran, it worked perfectly.  Now, running it again, only returns the Cluster name (but the number of times it's returned is equal to the number of VM's)

Any ideas?

Thanks

Scroll to the right, of course! I feel rather stupid now...
Now to export it ...

Is it possible to include the IP address of each VM? 

[bmmikee]

This script does exactly what I need.  My question is, how can I add a column for IP addresses of the guests?  I've asked this a few times in different threads - and it has worked...but not as well as this one does.

And this may be asking a lot, but is it possible to include a VLAN number as well?

[esarakaitis]

do add it to this script you'd just add a view of the vm and select the ip

vlan number is not a property of the vm, its a property of the portgroup

Forgive the ignorance, i'm very new to powershell with no learning materials.  I'm just dissecting scripts.  I'm not sure how to accomplish what you are saying. 

[esarakaitis]

look at the other script you asked about, I added the line for you.
