Get-TagAssignment

[Gabrie1]

Hi

How can I get a list of VMs that have a tag of the category "Location" and not present VMs that don't have this tag.

Get-TagAssignment -Entity $vm -Category "Location"

Will only list all tags.

I can't use:   $vmlist = get-vm | Get-TagAssignment -Entity $vm -Category "Location"

And when I have this list, I of course want to filter on VMs from a specific location.... 🙂

Any tips?

Can't you do something like

Get-VM | Where {$_ | Get-TagAssignment | Where {$_.Tag.Category -eq "Location"}}

Alternatively you can do it like this:

$tags = Get-Tag -Category "Location"

Get-VM -Tag $tags

Which is much more elegant than my Where-clause construction

Thank you both !!!
