Get-VM | Where-object {$_.name -notlike '*******' } | Stop-VMGuest -Confirm:$false

newbie to PowerShell , appreciate your help and thank you in advance.

You can use the Datastore parameter to limit the returned VMs to only the ones on that datastore

Get-VM -Datastore MyDS | 
Where-object {$_.name -notlike '*******' } | 
Stop-VMGuest -Confirm:$false

how about cluster filtering?

[LucD]

Use the Location parameter on the Get-VM cmdlet.

[svmware23]

can share the command so i can try on.

Which command?
It is the same command, just add the Location parameter.
