I've been trying this with no luck. My CSV file has Server Name in the first column and all the VM's below..
Import-Csv C:\scripts\input.csv |
ForEach-Object{
$vmTmp = Get-VM $_."Server Name" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
if ($vmTmp) {
## if the VM is on, power it off
if ($vmTmp.PowerState -eq "PoweredOn") {Stop-VM $vmTmp -Confirm:$false}
Remove-VM -VM $vmTmp -DeletePermanently -Confirm:$false -RunAsync
} ## end if
else {<# ...do nothing -- no VM by this name #>}
} ## end foreach-object
Get-VM : 10/24/2019 4:05:45 PM Get-VM VM with name 'laecoyy003q ' was not found using the specified filter(s).
At C:\scripts\vmstodecomm.ps1:2 char:14
