Am using this script, but its gathering all the vms and stopping it one by one even when the VM is already in stopped state
$vm = Get-Azvm
foreach($vms in $vm)
{
$resource = Get-Azvm | where {$_.Statuses -eq "Running"}
if($resource -ne $null)
{
Write-Output "Stopping virtual machine..." + $vms
Stop-AzVM -ResourceGroupName $resource.ResourceGroupName -Name $vms -Force
}
else
{
Write-output "Virtual machine not found:" + $vms
}
}
Based on the above shared requirement , we have modified the PowerShell script to check the virtual machines status ( whether it is running or not ), if virtual Machine is running you need to stop it using stop-Azvm cmdlet.
Checked the below script(while testing we passed resource group flag to the Get-Azvm ) in our local environment which is working fine.
$vm = Get-Azvm -Status
foreach($vms in $vm)
{
$statuscheck = Get-AzVM -ResourceGroupName $vms.ResourceGroupName -Name $vms.Name -Status
if($statuscheck.Statuses.DisplayStatus[1] -eq "VM running")
{
Write-Output "Stopping virtual machine...$($vms.Name)"
Stop-AzVM -ResourceGroupName $vms.ResourceGroupName -Name $vms.Name -Force
}
else
{
Write-output "Virtual machine $($vms.Name) is already in stopped state"
}
}
Here is the sample output for reference:

I have runbook in Azure that i want to use in different RG,
My code
$vms = Get-AzVM -ResourceGroupName RG-TEST
foreach($vm in $vms)
{
$statuscheck = Get-AzVM -ResourceGroupName RG-TEST -Name $vm.Name -Status
if($statuscheck.Statuses.DisplayStatus[1] -eq "VM running")
{
Write-Output "Stopping virtual machine...$($vm.Name)"
Stop-AzVM -ResourceGroupName $vm.ResourceGroupName -Name $vm.Name -Force
}
else
{
Write-output "Virtual machine $($vm.Name) is already in stopped state"
}
}
How can I update the code that the script will get the name of the RG where it's located,
So that the RG is not hard coded
Dont know how to do it
Do something like this
$rgs = $(Get-AzVM)
# Get Distinct RG Names
$rgs = $rgs | Select-Object -Property ResourceGroupName | Sort-Object -Unique
foreach($rg in $rgs){
$vms = Get-AzVM -ResourceGroupName $rg.ResourceGroupName
foreach($vm in $vms)
{
$statuscheck = Get-AzVM -ResourceGroupName $rg.ResourceGroupName -Name $vm.Name -Status
if($statuscheck.Statuses.DisplayStatus[1] -eq "VM running")
{
Write-Output "Stopping virtual machine...$($vm.Name)"
Stop-AzVM -ResourceGroupName $rg.ResourceGroupName -Name $vm.Name -Force
}
else
{
Write-output "Virtual machine $($vm.Name) is already in stopped state"
}
}
}
How do I delete a VM using tags? Let's say there is a VM with the tags "Name:Surname". How can I delete this VM without using the VM name or ID. Namely deletion using tags.
I try to use:
get-azvm -ResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup" | Where-Object {$_.Tags -like "[Name, blabla], [Surname, blabla]"}
but it didn't find that VM
I have reproduced in my environment. Firstly, you need to find the Virtual Machine using the below command:
xx- Name of the resource group
hello- tag name
get-azvm -ResourceGroupName "xx" | Where-Object {$_.Tags['hello']}
After getting the VM name you can use the below command to delete the VM:
xx- Name of the resource group
yy- Name of the vm.
Remove-AzVM -ResourceGroupName "xx" -Name "yy"
Then type Y(yes) to delete the VM as below:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/az.compute/get-azvm?view=azps-8.2.0
Based on this,
You could do something like this:
$Surname= 'Test'
$VMs = Get-AzVM -ResourceGroupName 'myRG'
foreach ($VM in $VMs)
{
[Hashtable]$VMTag = (Get-AzVM -ResourceGroupName $VM.ResourceGroupName -Name $VM.Name).Tags
foreach ($h in $VMTag.GetEnumerator()) {
if (($h.Name -eq "Name") -and ($h.value -eq $Surname))
{
Write-host "Removing VM" $VM.Name
Remove-AzVM -ResourceGroupName $VM.ResourceGroupName -Name $VM.Name -Force -Confirm:$false
}
}
}
I will like to use the Get-AzVm command to get list of VMs having a specific tag.
I have tried Get-AzVM | Where-Object {$_.Tags['Resource'] -eq "test"}
Still does not return VMS with the tag "Resource:test"
The output of get-azvm doesn't produce Tags for VM. But, Get-AzVM -ResourceGroupName ResourceGroupName -Name VMName does that.
So you need to loop through VMs, store the VM tag in a hashtable and then enumerate through the hastable to check your desired tag with value is there. Here goes the code-
$VMs = get-azvm
foreach ($VM in $VMs)
{
[Hashtable]$VMTag = (Get-AzVM -ResourceGroupName $VM.ResourceGroupName -Name $VM.Name).Tags
foreach ($h in $VMTag.GetEnumerator()) {
if (($h.Name -eq "Resource") -and ($h.value -eq "test"))
{
Write-host "VM with tags Resource:test are" $VM.Name
}
}
}
Context : I am automating starting of 3 Azure VM through a PowerShell script, and each VM is taking 4-5min to start. I want to run the start command parallel and after 5-6min verify them whether they are started.
function restartLoadAgents ($AzuresecretValue,$AzureApplicationID,$AzureObjectID,$AzureDirectoryID,$AzureUserName,$AzureSubscriptionID) {
$password = ConvertTo-SecureString $AzuresecretValue -AsPlainText -Force;
$LoadAgentResourceGroup = "test-performance-rg01";
#Connecting to the Azure VM using the Service Principle
$pscredential = New-Object -TypeName System.Management.Automation.PSCredential($AzureApplicationID, $password);
Connect-AzAccount -ServicePrincipal -Tenant $AzureDirectoryID -Credential $pscredential | Out-null;
#List all the Load Agents
$VMList = Get-AzVm -ResourceGroupName $LoadAgentResourceGroup -Status;
ForEach($VM in $VMList) {
#Skipping the Master Machine and DB machine
if ($VM.Name -eq "test-load-appmachine01" -or $VM.Name -eq "test-load-appmachine02") {
continue;
}
$VMLoadAgentStatus = (Get-AzVm -ResourceGroupName $LoadAgentResourceGroup -Name $VM.Name -status).Statuses
$CurrentLoadAgentRunningStatus = $VMLoadAgentStatus[1].DisplayStatus;
if($CurrentLoadAgentRunningStatus -match "deallocated" -or $CurrentLoadAgentRunningStatus -match "VM deallocated"){
Start-AzVM -ResourceGroupName $LoadAgentResourceGroup -Name $VM.Name | Out-null
commandVerifier;
checkVMStatus($VM.Name);
}
else {
Write-Host $VM.Name " Current State is "$CurrentLoadAgentRunningStatus;
}
}
}
function commandVerifier() {
if ($?){
Write-Host "Successfully Started "$VM.Name;
}
else {
Write-Host "Start Unsuccessful "$VM.Name;
}
}
function checkVMStatus($VM_NAME) {
$VMLoadAgentStatus = (Get-AzVm -ResourceGroupName $LoadAgentResourceGroup -Name $$VM_NAME -status).Statuses
$VMRunningStatusAfterTriggered = $VMLoadAgentStatus[1].DisplayStatus;
if($VMRunningStatusAfterTriggered -eq "running" -or $VMRunningStatusAfterTriggered -eq "VM running"){
Write-Host "Successfully Started VM"

There are 5 VM in total and first two need not to be stopped or started. test-load-appmachine03,test-load-appmachine04 & test-load-appmachine05 are the target VM and I want to start them parallelly and check after.
I have a script to start VMs/Stop them at a specific time. The issue is, I want the script to only exit when all the VMs are started/running or when they are deallocated/stopped. My current problem is when a VM is starting, it waits until it has started before moving to the next one.
eg: vm1 is starting..
vm2 is starting..
vm3 is starting..
vm1 is now running..
vm2 is still starting
vm3 is still starting
vm1 is now running..
vm2 is now running..
vm3 is now running..
Then script exits.

$ACTION="start"
Write-Output "Number of Virtual Machines: $($GetVMS.Name.Count)" `n
$GetVMS | Format-Table
$startstopvm = {
$ResourceGroupName = $args[0]
$Name = $args[1]
$ACTION = $args[2]
# Get VM status
try {
$VMs = Get-AzureRmVM -Name $Name -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName -Status -WarningAction SilentlyContinue
} catch {
Write-Output ("Cloud not get vm $Name in $ResourceGroupName")
$Error[0]
Exit 1
}
if ($ACTION -eq "start")
{
foreach ($VM in $VMs)
{
if ($VM.Statuses[1].Code -eq "PowerState/running")
{
Write-Output ($VM.Name + " in " + $VM.ResourceGroupName + " is already running")
}
else
{
# The VM needs to be started
Write-Output ("Starting VM " + $VM.Name)
$startVM += Start-AzureRmVM -Name $VM.Name -ResourceGroupName $VM.ResourceGroupName -AsJob -ErrorAction Continue
$startTime = Get-Date
$timeElapsed = $((Get-Date) - $startTime).TotalMinutes
while ($timeElapsed -lt 2)
{
$startVM = Get-AzureRmVM -Name $VM.Name -ResourceGroupName $VM.ResourceGroupName -Status -WarningAction SilentlyContinue
if ($startVM.Statuses[1].Code -match "PowerState/(running|starting)")
{
# The VM started, so send notice
Write-Output ($VM.Name + " in " + $VM.ResourceGroupName + " has been started`n")
break
}
Start-Sleep -s 30
}
if ($getStat.Statuses[1].Code -ne "PowerState/(running|starting)")
{
# The VM failed to start, so send notice
Write-Output ($VM.Name + " failed to start`n")
}
}
}
}
NOTE: I am reading the VM name & RG from a file
try {
$VMList = Get-Content C:\Users\local\Desktop\VMs.csv | ConvertFrom-Csv
} catch {
Write-Output ("Cannot open file...")
exit -1
}
$Result = #()
foreach ($vm in $VMList) {
Invoke-Command -ArgumentList $vm.ResourceGroupName, $vm.Name, $ACTION -Verbose -ScriptBlock $startstopvm
}
The simplest way I have done this in the past is to use the -Wait parameter on a Start-Process cmdlet.
You should be able to implement this with small changes.
Saving your current code block into a seperate .ps1 i.e. startstopvm.ps1
You could then change the Invoke-Commmand line to read something like:
Invoke-Command -ArgumentList $vm.ResourceGroupName, $vm.Name, $ACTION -Verbose -ScriptBlock {Start-Process powershell.exe -Argument "C:\Scripts\Backup.ps1 TestBackup" -Wait}
Definitely some other ways to do it but an approach like this has always worked for me
