Get list of VDPortGroup for each datacenter and cluster

I need to get a list of VDPortGroups from each datacenter and eac cluster in my vCenter server called "Junkyard".

I need the output to be formatted in a table like below....

      

vCenterServerDatacenterNameClusterNameVDPortGroup
JunkyardScrappyScrappyDoodv-prod
JunkyardCrappyCrappyDoodv-dev
JunkyardSnappySnappyDoodv-test
JunkyardNappyNappyDoodv-kaboom

That's just a sample, there actually a hundred more...…..lol

Now, I apparently have an old version of PowerCLI, see below.....

Every time I try and upgrade, PowerCLI prompts for authentication and I can't have that. Will try and fix later.

Get-Module -Name VMware* -ListAvailable

    Directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\Infrastructure\PowerCLI\Modules

You obviously still have a MSI-based installed of PowerCLI.
When that is installed for AllUsers, you most probably need administrator authority to uninstall the package.

For the script try something like this

$vcName = 'Junkyard'

Get-Datacenter -Server $vcName -PipelineVariable dc |

ForEach-Object -Process {

    Get-Cluster -Location $dc -Server $vcName -PipelineVariable cluster |

    ForEach-Object -Process {

        Get-VMHost -Location $cluster -Server $vcName |

        Get-VDswitch -Server $vcName |

        Get-VDPortgroup -Server $vcName |

        Select @{N='vCenter';E={$vcName}},

            @{N='Datacenter';E={$dc.Name}},

            @{N='Cluster';E={$cluster.Name}},

            @{N='VDPortgroup';E={$_.Name}}

    }

}

I have admin rights. I ran everythin on a "run as..." also but same results.

Should I do a full uninstall then reinstall from the link you sent previously?

Thanks

Since it looks to be a MSI installation, I would advise to first try and uninstall via the Control Panel - Programs and Features.

Then manually remove the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\Infrastructure\PowerCLI and everything in it, should it still be there.

Then, perhaps do a reboot to be on the safe side first, install PowerCLI again with the Install-Module cmdlet.

The steps are documented in more detail in Welcome PowerCLI to the PowerShell Gallery – Install Process Updates

Try adding this calculated property

            @{N='VMperCluster';E={(Get-VM -Location $cluster).Count}},

You did ask "Can we get vms count each cluster using below script ?"

In any case, try like this

            @{N='VMperVDPG';E={$_.ExtensionData.Vm.Count}},
