Hyper-V VM Status Checker Script

This PowerShell script checks the status of your Hyper-V virtual machines. It helps in monitoring whether your VMs are running, turned off, or in an error state. For more resources and useful scripts, check out my software ServerEngine at https://serverengine.co.
Step 1: Import the Hyper-V module to ensure all Hyper-V cmdlets are available.

Import-Module Hyper-V

Step 2: Get all virtual machines and their statuses using PowerShell.

$vms = Get-VM | Select-Object Name, State

Step 3: Loop through each VM and display its name along with its current state.

foreach ($vm in $vms) {
    Write-Host "$($vm.Name) is currently $($vm.State)"
}

Step 4: Optionally, you can also export this information to a CSV file for record-keeping.

$vms | Export-Csv -Path "C:\HyperV_VM_Status.csv" -NoTypeInformation

This script enables easy monitoring of your Hyper-V environment. Feel free to customize it further to suit your needs!
