How to list Distributed PortGroups that haven't got VM's connected to it?

[nicholas1982]

Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone here knows of a way (script) to list distributed portgroups that haven't got VM's connected to it?

Thanks Nic

Try something like this

Get-VDPortgroup | where{$_.ExtensionData.Vm.Count -eq 0} | select VDSwitch,Name

Luc,

You are amazing, its exactly what I needed, by any chance would it be possible to add the VLAN ID to that unused portgroup list ?

Sure, try like this

Get-VDPortgroup | where{$_.ExtensionData.Vm.Count -eq 0} |

select VDSwitch,Name,

    @{N='VlanType';E={$_.VlanConfiguration.VlanType}},

    @{N='VlanId';E={

        $pg = $_

        switch($pg.VlanConfiguration.VlanType){

            'Vlan' {$pg.VlanConfiguration.VlanId}

            'PrivateVlan' {"$($pg.VlanConfiguration.PrimaryVlanId )-$($pg.VlanConfiguration.SecondaryVlanId)"}

            'Trunk' {$pg.VlanConfiguration.Ranges}

        }

    }}
