Help with gettings IP's from a list.

[CHRISMY]

Hi Everyone,

I've been trying to piece together a powercli script that will pull the IP address from each VM in a text file list. I can get as far as polling ALL VM's and displaying to the terminal with this:  Get-VM | Select Name, @{N="IP Address";E={@($_.guest.IPAddress[0])}}

The problem though is that I only need a particular set of VM's, not all, and I need to export it to a .csv file. I've been working on it so long with so many variations that now I've just confused myself. Can someone help with the correct syntax?  I know I have to use the Export-CSV commandlet but I've had it ask for the object and retun and empty file.

Thanks.

Try something like this.

The names of the VMs can be specified in the .txt file, one name per line.

Get-Content -Path .\vmnames.txt |

ForEach-Object -Process {

   Get-VM -Name $_ | Select Name, @{N = "IP Address"; E = { @($_.guest.IPAddress[0]) } }

} | Export-Csv -Path .\report.csv -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture
