You could do something like this.
Note1: this will only work for VMs that are powered on and have the VMware Tools installed.
Note2: the Invoke-VMScript might require a GuestCredential parameter when the account that runs the script is not allowed to loon to the Guest OS
Note3: you might need to add additional cases to the switch statement
$code = @'
Switch ($((get-ciminstance Win32_OperatingSystem).buildnumber))
{
17763 {'Windows 10 - 1809'}
18362 {'Windows 10 - 1903'}
18363 {'Windows 10 - 1909'}
19041 {'Windows 10 - 2004'}
19042 {'Windows 10 - 29H2'}
19043 {'Windows 10 - 21H1'}
19044 {'Windows 10 - 21H2'}
22000 {'Windows 11'}
Default {'unable to determine the release off of the build number ' }
}
'@
Get-VM | where{$_.Guest.OSFullName -match '^Microsoft Windows 10' -and $_.PowerState -eq 'PoweredOn'} |
ForEach-Object -Process {
$result = Invoke-VMScript -VM $_ -ScriptText $code -ScriptType Powershell -
if($result.ScriptOutput -match '21H2'){
$_.Name
}
}
