    How to find a VM in multiple vCenter using powercli.

    I tried :

    $vCenters = @("xx""xx")

    ForEach-Object ($vCenter -in $vCenters)

    {

    $Connect = Connect-VIServer $vCenter -User xxxxx -Password xxxxx

    }

    Did you check that the DefaultVIServerMode is set to Multiple?

    And with $global:defaultviservers you can check to which vCenters you are connected.

    $vCenters = 'vc1','vc2'

    Set-PowerCLIConfiguration -DefaultVIServerMode Multiple -Confirm:$false

    Connect-VIServer -Server $vCenters -User xxxxx -Password xxxxx

    $global:DefaultVIServers

    No, if you set the mode to Multiple, it will automatically search in all connected vCenters.
