Omitting VM's associated with DRS Rules

[Zsoldier]

I'm so freakin' close, I can smell it, but don't think my desk can handle anymore head banging.

$Cluster = Get-Cluster ClusterName

$DRS = $Cluster | get-drsrule | % {$_.VMIds}

$VMS = $Cluster | Get-VM | where {$_.Id -notmatch $DRS}

I've tried -notcontains, -inotcontains, inotmatch, etc. to no avail. Any help would be appreciated. Can't figure out how to get powershell to handle the array.

P.S. - "$VMS = $Cluster | Get-VM | where {$_.Id -notmatch $DRS[0]}" does work.

Original Post removed from my own stupidity...

When doing -notcontains, are you listing the source first?

$VMS = $Cluster | Get-VM | where {$DRS -notcontains $_.Id}

I have a copy of the original post if you would like me to repost. LOL. That worked, thank you. Knew it was something stupid.
