You can search a VM name in your Hyper-V host list like this:
$VMName = "Server Name"
$Servers = Get-Content C:\servers.txt
foreach ($Server in $Servers)
{
$VMs = Get-WMIObject -Class Msvm_ComputerSystem -Namespace "root\virtualization" -ComputerName $Server
foreach ($VM in $VMs)
{
if ($VM.ElementName -eq $VMName)
{
Write-Host $Server
}
}
} |
$VMName = "Server Name"
$Servers = Get-Content C:\servers.txt
foreach ($Server in $Servers)
{
$VMs = Get-WMIObject -Class Msvm_ComputerSystem -Namespace "root\virtualization" -ComputerName $Server
foreach ($VM in $VMs)
{
if ($VM.ElementName -eq $VMName)
{
Write-Host $Server
}
}
} It uses WMI so both works on Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2012.

You may get this error when you try to open Failover Cluster Manager (Windows Server 2012):
Failover Cluster Manager failed while managing one or more cluster. The error was ‘An error occurred trying to display the cluster information.’. For more information see the Failover Cluster Manager Diagnostic channel.
You can fix this problem by this command via CMD:

| cd C:\Windows\System32\wbem
mofcomp .\ClusWMI.mof |
cd C:\Windows\System32\wbem
mofcomp .\ClusWMI.mof If you have SCCM agent on your server, then that might cause this error. Try to update your SCCM agent to latest version.

| $Servers = Get-Content C:\Servers.txt
foreach ($Server in $Servers)
{
$IPAddress = $null
$IPAddress = [System.Net.Dns]::GetHostAddresses("$Server").IPAddressToString
Add-Content -Path C:\ServerName.txt -Value $Server
if ($IPAddress -eq $null)
{
$IPAddress = "Server IP cannot resolve."
}
Add-Content -Path C:\ServerIP.txt -Value $IPAddress
} |
$Servers = Get-Content C:\Servers.txt
foreach ($Server in $Servers)
{
$IPAddress = $null
$IPAddress = [System.Net.Dns]::GetHostAddresses("$Server").IPAddressToString
Add-Content -Path C:\ServerName.txt -Value $Server
if ($IPAddress -eq $null)
{
$IPAddress = "Server IP cannot resolve."
}
Add-Content -Path C:\ServerIP.txt -Value $IPAddress
} It creates two different txt file, so you can merge them in an excel file.

Add-Content -Path C:\testservers.txt -Value $Server
}
else
{
Write-Host "Prod Server"
Add-Content -Path C:\prodservers.txt -Value $Server
}
} As you see, i split them into 2 different groups.

} I’ve added all my Hyper-V hostnames into C:\hosts.txt to use this script.

} I’ve used filter to get specific computers.

You can get your VMs list, Hyper-V hostname, clustername and csv paths like this:

| $VMs = Get-VM
foreach ($VM in $VMs)
{
$VMName = $VM.Name
$VMHostname = $VM.ComputerName
$VMHostCluster = (Get-Cluster).Name
$VMHardDisk = $VM.ConfigurationLocation
$VMHardDiskLocation = $VMHardDisk.Split("\")[2]
$Value = $VMName + "," + $VMHostname + "," + $VMHostCluster + "," + $VMHardDiskLocation
Add-Content -Value $Value -Path "VMList.txt"
} |
$VMs = Get-VM
foreach ($VM in $VMs)
{
$VMName = $VM.Name
$VMHostname = $VM.ComputerName
$VMHostCluster = (Get-Cluster).Name
$VMHardDisk = $VM.ConfigurationLocation
$VMHardDiskLocation = $VMHardDisk.Split("\")[2]
$Value = $VMName + "," + $VMHostname + "," + $VMHostCluster + "," + $VMHardDiskLocation
Add-Content -Value $Value -Path "VMList.txt"
} You need to run this script on all Hyper-V hosts.
