hi,

 

the code should following, “$vms = gwmi -class "msvm_computersystem"-namespace” , "root\virtualization"-computername "." on same line.

 

--------------------------------------

$vms = gwmi -class "msvm_computersystem"-namespace "root\virtualization"-computername "."

foreach ($vm in $vms)

{

switch ($vm.enabledstate)

{

2{$state="running" }

3{$state="stopped" }

32768{$state="paused" }

32769{$state="suspended" }

32770 {$state="starting" }

32771{$state="taking snapshot" }

32773{$state="saving" }

32774{$state="stopping" }

}

write-host $vm.elementname `,` $state

}

-------------------------------------
