Edit Annotation - Each VM with different "purpose" description

[RoyalFlash]

Hi all,

i want to set each VM with a different description.

ForEach ($VM in Get-Content D:\VM.txt) {

  ForEach ($Purpose in Get-Content D:\Purpose.txt) {

Set-Annotation -Entity $VM -CustomAttribute "Purpose" -Value $Purpose
}
}

But now, each VM is getting all "purpose" descriptions, before the script start to edit the next VM in the VM.txt list

How will

VM1 get purpose description 1

VM2 get purpose description 2 

VM3 get purpose description 3

The easiest would be if you combine those 2 files in 1 CSV file.

But with your files you could do

$vmNames = Get-Content D:\VM.txt
$purpose = Get-Content D:\Purpose.txt

0..($vmNames.Count - 1) | foreach {
  Get-VM -Name $vmNames[$_] : Set-Annotation -CustomAttribute 'Purpose' -Value $purpose[$_]
}
