[as900w]

When name of the VM is a long, use get-vm command to get VM name that show ... after VM name.

I want to show full name of VM, What should I do?

Hi as900w​

Check How do I get Virtual Machine Name Output from 'Get-VM | Get-AdvancedSetting' command?

Hi,    

This will do it for you:

Get-VM | ft -AutoSize

get-vm |%{ $_|Select Name,@{N="OriginalName";E={(($_ | Get-AdvancedSetting |Where{$_.Name -eq 'nvram'} ).value).Split('.')[0]}}, VMHost,PowerState }

The above snippet should work, in case where the VM has been renamed after deployment. In such case the 'Name' attribute obtained from get-vm  cmdlet will be misleading, hence the above should be close to name used during original deployment.
