Powershell script to get list of Running VM's and stop them-CodePudding

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
    }
}

CodePudding user response：

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:
